What's the best album to get?


.

 

[The Lotion]

Hots Rats

It's fantastic

 

[Raulie]

don't know which album it's on, but the stinkfoot track is the business...

 

[The Lotion]

Ok - Hot Rats is a 6 track album
5 of which are instrumentels
and the one with singing "Willie The Pimp" has Captain Beefheart doing the vocals - don't let the idea of only 6 tracks and zappa not singing on this album put you off - it's so brilliant

Also try Apostrophe'
and
Over-Nite Sensation (if easily offened stay away from this one - or just skip the song Dinah-Moe Humm)

later

stinkfoot is on Apostrophe' (very funny song)

 

[Raulie]

stinkfoot is on Apostrophe' (very funny song)

ya, there's another track that I like from that album... "we look pretty sharp in these clothes, unless we get sprayed with a hose"... ring a bell?

ya gotta admire the man's eccentricities... plus, a fuckin unbelievable musician...

 

[The Lotion]

plus, a fuckin unbelievable musician...

under rated guitar player by many because of the "funny lyrics" - so class - his solo on muffin man is unbelievable
and on willie the pimp
and on....etc..etc...
too many to mention

btw - Watch out where the huskies go and don't you eat that yellow snow
great googly moogly

Bought Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart not so long ago. Just couldn't get into it. Think it was produced by Zappa. Sounds like tuneless Tom Waits to me. I love that song "her eyes are a blue million miles" but that album is beyond me. Hot rats is a fantastic album alright.

I love Trout mask replica (yeah it was produced by Zappa) - but i do admit it's very very hard to get into
try the cd with 2 albums on it The Spotlight Kid & Clear Spot - great value, great music (it sounds normal compared to TMR) and has her eyes.. is on it as well
Also check out the Beefhearts album safe as milk - for the fantastic song that is "Sure 'nuff 'n Yes I Do"

great video here of beefheart

Well i'm certainly willing to give it another chance. Maybe i'll check out your other recommendations first and break myself in gently. Cheers Lotion.
