[edit]Beefheartian (comparative more Beefheartian, superlative most Beefheartian)
- Characteristic of Captain Beefheart (Don Van Vliet; 1941–2010), American singer-songwriter.
- 2009, Simon Reynolds, Bring the Noise:
- Jangly-pop ought to be danced with Morrisseyesque feyness, above-it-all gestures that echo the 'free dancing' of the counterculture, while the Beefheartian thrash of bands like Stump and A Witness incites a bacchanalian delirium.
- 2012, Mick Middles, Arcade Fire: Behind the Black Mirror:
- This isn't Buzzcocks circa 1978, and their dilemma over whether to tread further Beefheartian leanings or opt to become a post-punk Herman's Hermits (no put-down intended).
