Don Van Vliet, aka Captain Beefheart, was idiosyncratic  to say the least, blending a range of often experiemental musical styles over 13 albums before giving it all up and devoting himself to abstract expressionist painting (see earlier item) which, to be fair, made him far more money.

Beefheart can be very inaccessible, at least on the first 45 hearings. But fear not, this is him at his most accessible.
