'Trout Mask Replica' is my favourite album ever. It's just tooooo good! BUT it's supreme brilliantness shouldn't lead people to overlook his other work, some of which is almost as good as that masterwork. Just check out 'Lick My Decals Off Baby', 'Shiny Beast', 'Ice Cream for Crow', 'Safe As Milk', 'Doc at The Radar Station' etc. Only ones to really avoid are 'Unconditionally Guaranteed' and 'Bluejeans and Moonbeams' seen as they were the result of the good Captain's self-conscious and woefully misguided attempt at selling out...
