The Official Captain Beefheart Thread (albums, tracks, quote, artists)

Safe as Milk is still in my play list, and is exceptionally solid for a first album. I don't think I will ever get tired of Beefheart and his Magic Band.

Back when I used to DJ I had Upon the My-O-My as sort of a "signature song". i allways started my sets with it. Unconditionally Guaranteed has grown to become my favourite of his albums actually. Didn't know he didn't like it himself, though. Safe As Milk I've kind of played to death, unfortunately. But of course it's superb, to say the least.

Well, to justify myself I must say I didn't used the word "favourite" in the previous statement as equal to "best" in terms of quality. But Unconditionally Guranteed is definintely the album of his I've played the most in recent years. I guess the reason for this is that it's one of his most accesible and therefore I've put it on whenever I have friends or family over, and yeah I guess I couldn't help myself but to like it more and more. I certainly like Trout Mask Replica and the likes aswell, but the mood of mind that it requires does not appear as often.

The same goes with Bob Dylan (and here's one to really frown on: ). One of my "favourites" of his is his '73 album Dylan.
