Anyways, this is probably my second favourite of Beefheart's albums (after Trout Mask Replica).
No love for Safe As Milk? It's easily my personal favourite Beefheart album. _________________ "Drink beer, smoke pot, and create something that will storm heaven. That's all I ever really cared about." - Ron House

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.
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. _________________ -Ryan
