Somebody please explain to me the allure of Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica, quite possibly the most revered piece of garbage in music history. Better yet, start with how you can listen to it without stabbing yourself in the eye with a crochet needle and work your way up to how you can possibly enjoy it.

The Residents are the one band in the world that I refuse to discuss on this forum.
Having said that. It's like comparing orange juice to orange flavored Kool-Aid.

I like it because it manages to combine old style rhythm n' blues, out-of-consciousness lyrics, and bouts with random yelps and farting noises. Which can lead to hilarious results for some, but I personally think it jams. It's a disjointed, sloppy collage of avant-garde concepts old and half-assed. The fact it seems so crazy is one of its attractions. It also has the effect to make itself completely unlikeable in the first listen, I thought it to be more of a novelty when I first heard it, but I gave it more listens over time, and within a few weeks I thought it was ****ing brilliant.
