Experimental Rock: Trout Mask Replica (1969) / Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

You either “get it” or you don’t with this one. Trout Mask Replica is widely imaginative, unrestrained, and impulsive, and quite possibly the grossest, weirdest music you’ve ever heard.

“Great played at high volume when you’re feeling shitty, because you’ll never feel as shitty as this record.” (Robert Christgau).
