The 10 most unappreciated Musicians ever. (10 person items)

While recording 1969's Trout Mask Replica, he locked his Magic Band in a house for eight months; once a week someone was allowed out to fetch food. In the meantime, his musicians struggled to interpret the music he was "writing" on the piano, an instrument he couldn't actually play. Craziest Moment: Giving the Magic Band new names to match "
