In hindsight while it certainly doffs a cap to Alex Chilton, the album's it's own thing and now considered a bit of a classic.

If ever you want an example of how modern music is massively shit just remember these guys are regularly headlining festivals despite most of their songs sounding like dour Kasabian b-sides.
And I don't get Kasabian either. All the swagger of Oasis without any of the songs.
The Clash / The Libertines
@ICBM is talented, but I never had him down as a ventriloquist.
Would that be Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come?

A better game would be for people to state the names of artists they think aren't derivitive and others can then enlighten them on who they are derived from.
Because even the Beatles are derivitve so I don't think anyone could win the game.
(Only meaning artists that a decent amount of people actually like, not some obscure pretentous hipster who records 5 minutes of the radio between stations)
One band were inspired by another and played like them but then changed a certain element. Another band liked that band but changed another element etc.
E.g. blues > rock n roll > Beatles style rock > hard rock like Deep Purple > early metal > harder metal > etc.
No one went from haven't having heard any music to picking up a guitar and deciding to hold down strings randomly and strummed til it sounded good - it's always the case of learning a base then building on it.
But, I suspect that there cannot possibly be a genuinely non-derivative artist, as that would mean they would have to have existed in total isolation until they finally produced a work, based on ???
Plus, all musicologists & researchers would be out of a job.
However in the spirit of the question, Captain Beefheart.
