While no one made a noise quite like The Fall, it's possible to piece together a map of their ferocious garage-rock sound. Just as Bo Diddley's and Gene Vincent's crisp rock 'n' roll sonics can be heard in The Fall's searing guitar lines, so can the discordant breakdowns of The Velvet Underground and The Stooges. And you can trace a path from Can's scattershot lyrical surprises to Mark E. Smith's trenchant rants (he even named one of their songs "I Am Damo Suzuki," in honor of the Can vocalist). The Fall were also no strangers to the off-kilter, jazz-leaning sounds of art-rock experimentalists like Captain Beefheart and Henry Cow.
