I am picking Captain Beefheart today, because

He is the only one on there I have seen live. Someone else used this criteria the other day and today that works for me. Saw him at an outdoor festival at Duke in the early 70s. Man that was a long time ago. :). Ronnie Van Zant would be my second choice today.
