@srijantje introduced me to Captain Beefheart through his beauteous avatar, generously animated by @SkinnyP back in the day.

Today marks the fifty year mark since the release of Trout Mask Replica, the album that many feel defined the sound and won the ensemble a place in music history.

If you're out of the loop, I'd give you the advice of giving the music a little time to win you over. Some of the tracks can be hard to appreciate at first, but many people recognize the genius therein.

Here is a widely lauded tune that might make a good intro to Captain Beefheart (and His Magic Band):

Captain Beefheart - Moonlight On Vermont
