Zappa (r.i.p) and Mr. Van Vliet were very creative and knowledgeable musicians, however the difference came down to how they used that musical knowledge. Zappa was a little more (loosly-speaking) "normal" in how he wrote music. He made songs. Complex as fuck songs, but songs. Donnie boy was all about having his band use structures that didn't go together on purpose. He was more interested in art than music and wanted the sounds to depict the lyrics or the imagery of the piece.
I love em both, but I voted Beefheart, being an art-rock fan and all.
