When mentioning The Residents, Snakefinger (real name: Philip Charles Lithma)always comes to mind. He's the guy who plays the manical guitar solo on their cover version of 'Satisfaction', and he was their off-and-on guitarist for nearly 2 decades. The Residents also contributed to his solo albums, which contain amzingly original and quirky music. 'The Picture Makers vs. Children of the Sea' is on his album 'Greener Pastures' and is a wonderful 9-minute sci-fi mini-opera. When I bought the album in 1980, this song immediately fascinated me and I couldn't get it out of my head. More than 30 years later it still doesn't sound dated.
