I was half expecting a nod to Gimme Dat Harp Boy, which I posted earlier and is a super incredible amazing fun time song.

Bongo Fury is great. Have you heard Beefheart's era where he unsuccessful tried to become a pop icon (aka The Tragic Band)? Bluejeans and Moonbeams is a great album in its own way, but it's not a great Beefheart album.

What about this? It's my favorite



It's pretty stripped down jam blues, and really the only prevalent "weird" element is how long that jam goes on. And maybe the harmonica, has kind of a whacky dissonant sound.

Tbh I've listened to it back to back times, on multiple occasions. It's so easy to get blanketed in the long free form smashing.

Not a fan of either of those. Not bad but not something I'd listen to again.

Either of you guys ever heard this? It meanders, is a bit sloppy, definitely has some blues elements but I can hang with this cause it kinda keeps some focus while all of the **** is going down. Plus it gets heavy as hell now and then. A bit traditional early 70s rock structure too.

Can't say I've listened to Mountain but maybe I will, kept showing up while looking for heavy ass awesome rock.

But I mean why even be alive if you don't listen to Atomic Rooster
