Trout Mask Replica and VU & Nico are totally seperate imo. They're both experimental, but like, Trout Mask is like nonsense, so more avant garde. VU & Nico has beautiful lyrics and is less chaotic. Overall VU & Nico is better, but imo TMR epitomizes the genre, and is artistic in its own way.

I went with TMR because of how influential it is for the genre, whereas VU & Nico was more influential on alternative genres than experimental.

Tough decision though.
