One of Beefheart's better albums, behind Ice Cream For Crow for my fifth favorite of his, still a bit of a disappointment after Trout Mask. Also this is the perfect excuse to post this fine bit of advertising. In plain view it's Captain Beefheart.

Safe As Milk > Spotlight Kid > Clear Spot > Doc At The Radar Station > Lick My Decals Off, Baby > Trout mask Replica > Mirror Man Sessions > Ice Cream For Crow and that is all I think I've heard.

But yeah, Lick My decals off is great.

And the highlight of Safe As Milk is "Yellow brick Road" and " Sure Nuf and yes I Do" as well as "Electricity" and a couple other lesser gems. His debut is his greatest work.

I love Safe As Milk too, but I still prefer Trout Mask Replica, Lick My Decals off, Baby and Doc at the Radar Station. Though Electricity is perhaps one of Beefheart's best songs. 😄

And I Love You, You Big Dummy is the most romantic song to ever exist.
