Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band -- Safe as Milk

  Like many great artists his influence spans further than his popularity.  Safe as Milk is a blues drenched, fuzzed out, experimental hot box of music and words.  His persona feels much like a mix of the Howlin' Wolf and Wolfman Jack, but in a avant-garde beat punk sorta way.  Put this album on, take a trip down the Yellow Brick Road, follow the Zig Zag Wanderer to the Plastic Factory before we've all Grown So Ugly.
