I have been thinking today that many artists appreciate captain Beefheart but it is quite rare that his influences are heard in other artists music. In Finland there are/were some bands (Kauko Röyhkä & Narttu, Sweetheart, Radiopuhelimet, Keuhkot) that have said they admire Beefheart and it is also heard in their music at least some albums. Outside Finland only Tom Waits and Birthday party come into my mind. And in first decade of 21st century in addition with Tom Waits only John Parish has made some songs there are clear Beefheart influences (the Chair, a Woman a Man walked by/the Crow knows where all the little children go, Pig Will Not, Bernadette). I hope there will come more artist who made Beefheart influental music. I just like his wicked style!
