Bingo.

Beefheart was post-punk before punk.


Yup, reading the paragraph from Wikipedia that I posted, Beefheart definitely fits into post-punk.

Some of the most interesting music ever and helped make the 70s and the 80s my two favorite decades in music. Of course Joy Division is the first band most people think of when post punk is brought up but that is deserved. They are one of the most innovative acts to emerge in any genre. I love New Order and the fact that those guys made the best of losing their friend but it would be a incredible to see what kind of album came after Closer and how their career would have progressed in general.

I also love Gang of Four, Talking Heads Wire, Suicide, Sonic Youth, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Cure, Television, and Richard Hell to name a few.

The 21st century stuff is good but does not have the same maverick spirit as its influences.
