I'm a rather avid fan of this man's work (read several books about him and seen quite a few documentaries about his life and work). What he lacked in eclecticism (on a superficial level, that is), he made up with brilliance and uniqueness. His magnum opus, Trout Mask Replica (1969), is a work of art and exhibits a type of music normally found in free improvisation and free jazz... even though the entirety of it is composed. It's dada, it's blues, it's fucking Captain Beefheart.
Anyways, here are a few videos:

Anyone else a fan?
