Beefheart and Caroliner don't sound anything alike. And there's no such as "irrelevant music". And Beefheart blows away 99% of bands out there. And you've never even listened to a Beefheart album so why do you keep talking about him anyway? You seem obsessed with proving some non-point by mentioning some musician you aren't the least bit familiar with. ALlso, Beefheart sounds nothing like ZAPPA, either, who only made one album I'd reccomend -- we're only in it for the money. I don't see how music can be "dated". Film, yes, because movies use dated stylistic techniques (Godard inventd modern film as we know it); there is a feeling to movies, a look, that can be extremely dated. Music.. nothing beats a great song. A good chord sequence is just that. Obviously, some production tricks are dated. Also, yeah, God in 3 persons is like 20 years old instead of 30, if that's what you mean by "recent". But, look, I have 70-80 Residents ablums, and more than half aren't very noteworthy. So they made 2 great albums in the 80's, so what? They made like 15 great albums in the 70's. They still haven't done anything particularly interesting in a long long time. Which has to do with their collaborators not collaborating with them anymore. Residents has only been one constant guy (Hardee Fox).
