Can are brilliant, Beefheart is extremely patchy but the good bits are great, Zappa is too self-consciously zany for me (try Todd Rundgren instead, who’s just as inventive but less smug about it)
I need to get properly into The Fall but never know quite where to start. Same with Somic Youth and, to a certain extent, shockingly, The Beatles, whose singles are obviously inescapable but I can’t say I’ve ever sat down and listened to one of their albums from beginning to end.

King Crimson. I love prog, so I should warm to them.
I might have the same experience as I did with Gentle Giant. I ignored them up until a couple of years ago, mainly because I thought the band's name was so naff, but once I took the plunge, I discovered that I absolutely love their first two albums.

From personal experience, the first album completely blew me away. I genuiinely don't remember hearing an album that had such a positive impact at the first hearing.
But when the experience is so positive and high, the only way is down, and so it proved.
For Can, I'd suggest you start with the album "Tago mago".
Not all the tracks are great in my humble opinion, but some of them are amazing.
Can, and especially that album, were said to have inspired bands of the baggy genre. You can certainly hear the influence of Can's rhythm section in some baggy tunes e.g by The Happy Mondays.

As a guitarist I know I should check out Jeff Beck, Frank Zappa and Van Halen maybe but whenever I listen to like a minute of them I get nothing from it.
In terms of punk sort of stuff I probably should be familiar with Slint, Dinosaur Jr, Sonic Youth but again they just don't grab me in a minute or so.
