I discovered KA when I was a teenager (a remaindered copy of Girl, 20) and followed him for a decade or so, losing interest around the time of the late novels.
(Similarly for McPhee, as it happens: I used to collect him, as well.)

I agree that the modern popularity of it among garage bands is due to Thee Headcoats, though. Don't think there's much disputing that.
