On the contrary, Beefheart had a lot of melodic songs, which is why he is popular by the standards of avant-garde musicians (take for example "Yellow Brick Road", "Ant Man Bee", "Too Much Time", "Tropical Hot Dog Night" etc). It's just that his more out-there stuff is regarded as more revolutionary.

His band had the ability to arrange and play his idiosyncratic snippets of music in a coherent fashion. He really couldn't have accomplished any of this without them. His singing, lyrics and squawking are the least interesting parts of his band's music.

@@davehimlin2374 I have never read such a silly comment. Beefheart just did what he liked. Period. And as far as composition is concerned, I suggest you opened your ears. The instrumental part here is just incredible. Like many others he has done. No one on earth has ever gone so far in pop/rock music as a composer. I could give you a good number of examples. But I take it you would say Mozart and Beethoven are great composers unlike Stravinsky and Messiean...

@@davehimlin2374 You're joking right, why would Beefheart want to trade his position as one of the most badass idiosyncratic composers of all time to be a member of a pop act that wrote songs about holding hands. The guy listened to Howling wolf and Stravinsky, not what was most popular on the radio. Comparing the two is like comparing a b52 bomber to a bunch of ants.
