One of my alltime favorite artists. I've bought about half a dozen of his albums. Trout Mask Replica is still his masterpiece as far as I'm concerned...

i only have trout mask replica..and i have a hard time getting into it. i liked "ella guru" and a couple other tracks. If anybody has any other recommendations on good tracks for beefheart noobs it'd be nice.

It's an acquired taste. I can see where it would be very hard to like the first time through, if you don't like it by the third time, try listening to some Zappa and Tom Waits to ease your self into Captain Beefheart.

...Music from the other side of the fence: Go for "200 Years Old" on Bongo Fury. Recover. Then, same album; "Sam With The Showing Scalp Flat Top" + track that follows. Then, either all of "Clear Spot" or "Spotlight Kid". Back to Bongo Fury: "Debra Kadabra" & now you're ready for "Trout Mask Replica"...fan for 43 years

Start with Safe As Milk (The album) , I hated Trout Mask when I first heard it.
After i`d heard Safe As Milk it made much more sense.
