The VU & Nico, hands down. It is the most important album to me in terms of the development of my musical palette. The songs are beautifully crafted, full of depth and meaning, whilst despite the experimentation that fizzes and crashes throughout, there is an accessibility to the music. It's an album that will never lose its appeal, one of my favourites for sure.

I appreciate TMR for it's innovation, and do enjoy it from time to time - but it's an album I respect more than like. There are at least 3 Beefheart albums that I gain more of a positive listening experience from.
