Definitely agree, though I don't know why Twin Infinitives was suddenly mentioned. The two albums have nothing in common.

nubbles, notice how nobody else was stupid enough to try and say what the best song on a 28 song album is.

They're all great in their own way but if I were forced to pick 10 for a desert island it would be:

Ella Guru
Moonlight On Vermont
Neon Meate Dream Of A Octafish
My Human Gets Me Blues
Dali's Car
Pena
Ant Man Bee
The Blimp
Old Fart At Play
Veteran's Day Poppy

Now you're confusing Twin Infinitives with The Album That Never Was.

TMR ain't Magic Band's masterpiece (that would be Doc), but it is near and it also is one of the coolest and most fun albums of all time.

You're confusing it with Twin Infinitives.

Now THIS is a fun album

I'm in the middle group with this album - I don't love or hate it, I just enjoy it (which is surprising since I hate dissonance being passed off as progressive - which this album kinda does).

Proto Scaruffi shit, I like it. Also Applerill needs to understand quirky and poorly done as possible ≠ avant-garde. Might I suggest looking into music theory classes?

Actually, that's not completely true. The album is basically two sets of songs playing at the same time:
*Free jazz Ones
*Delta Blues Ones

In and of themselves, these are pretty ordinary. But when put together, you get one of the greatest albums of all time.

An absolute masterpiece, though I don't get why people find it to be so challenging. It has a bit of filler, but aside from that, I wouldn't mind going dancing to a girl to this. That'd be baos.

Also, my band Charlie N. George's main influence is this album.
