Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band - Trout Mask Replica (1970)
Little did I know that so long as 50 years ago, a guy known as Captain Beefheart was out there satirizing the music industry and composing ridiculously respectable tuneage that can only be described as eclectic. Nana insert words here. Other possible terminology includes avant-garde, jazz, blues, and some …
The Beatles - If I Needed Someone (Song)

Wish, 1992 Album by The Cure
