Thurston's "poetry" seems more like someone consciously trying to write poetry, and it sounds really really contrived. I love the man with all my heart, but it doesn't work. He should stick to writing lyrics, not poems and prose (yeh, there is a difference).
Shit that matters:
Ginsberg
Kerouac
Peter Orlovsky
Gregory Corso
Lawrence Ferlinghetti
(err, the entire Howls, Raps and Roars box set... it's 4 cds of beat poets and shit... great stuff)
Bukowski
Henry Rollins (more prose... but whatever)
Michael Ondaatje (same as Rollins... I HIGHLY recommend The Collected Works of Billy the Kid and Coming Through Slaughter)
Edgar Allen Poe (of course!)
I am pulling up blanks right now, but I'll be back!
