After Trout I would look into Lick My Decals Off, Baby, it's probably more accessible than Trout but not by alot. I recommend that or The Spotlight Kid as the best Beefheart albums to start with for anyone new to his music, where as most people will jump straight into Trout without any knowledge of what they are getting into. Safe As Milk is a good album if you have listened to Trout and enjoyed it, it toes a different line to Trout, be it a little more conventional.
