Which album fucked you for life?

Another honorable mention:

Word. I still have that Roir cassette.

That helped me move away from this:

I actually prefer Safe as Milk to Trout Mask.

Lick My Decals Off, Baby rules all.

ditto that

Lick My Decals Off, Baby rules all.

I dunno man, Bat Chain Pullerrrrrrr...

You guys are all so very high.

Trout Mask Replica is the masterpiece. While most of the Captain's catalog is very good. Nothing show his true genius like Trout Mask Replica. A magnum opus par excellence.

we like Captain Beefheart, of course we're high. but seriously, I think TMR is so highly-rated/well-known because A. it came first, B. it was produced by Zappa, and C. it has iconic album art. Back in the true age of LPs, don't underestimate album art's ability to influence critics/popular opinion. Also, unlike Decals, TMR has stayed in print. For me, Decals is more focused while just as adventurous, plus lyrically it's both one of the Doc's best and really filthy. "I Wanna Find a Woman That'll Hold My Big Toe Till I Have To Go"? FUCK YEAH. Not to mention the title track.

I dig Bat Chain Puller/Shiny Beast/Whatever It's Called, but Doc At The Radar Station is my favorite of the comeback stuff.

John Zorn/Naked City's "Grand Guinol" made me want to make meat out of more things.

I think I still have that CD somewhere. I wish back then I had never switched to buying mostly CD's instead of vinyl. Grand Guignol would be a nice one in the collection....

This, I do have on vinyl. Totally fucked me.

Naked City - Torture Garden

[veteransdaypoppy]

I played the first side for four months, then turned it over and played the second...

My hair still hasn't recovered.

This one followed by this one 3 or so years later

But being from their hometown they may have had more of an impact on me.
