What is your favorite Captain Beefheart album? My personal choice is 'Trout Mask Replica' because of its experimental and unique approach. This album was also the first to mark Captain Beefheart's distinctive musical vision in full effect.

I'm most entertained by Safe as Milk and Clear Spot. Every song on each of those are so much fun. In regards to Beefheart I'm more into his unique kind of feel and groove. I guess I get more out of Trout Mask Replica's... experiments when a similar approach is put to use within the context of a more conventional tune.

Trout Mask Replica. Nothing sticks to this toilet like hood ornaments.

Maybe a poll without Trout Mask?  Try and determine what readers think about the best of the rest.

Trout Mask all the way. It's in my top 5 of all time. Captain Beefheart is a huge inspiration.

TMR is going to run away with this so I'll show Shiny Beast some love.

It's hard to pick a favorite. I might go with Trout Mask Replica, but i certainly enjoy the rest very, very much.

I don't care about Trout Mask Replica that much to be honest. It certainly has its moments but I find much of it more or less irritating. I think Lick My Decals Off, Baby is a better take of a similar thing. 

Vote goes to Shiny Beast.

Lester Bang's review in Creem magazine directed me to Trout Mask Replica ( I already had Save As Milk and  Strictly Personal in my collection ) he called it the rawest rock and roll ever invented. I thought that they had changed into a MC5 band... boy was I surprised ! Avant-garde musical posturing with psychedelic Dada lyrical flow propelled by edgy musicianship- this lp blew my high school mind. It wrapped me up and provided hours of enjoyment. A life changing  piece of work. This for me is their best ; but, Doc at the Radar Station, Ice Cream for Crow, and Spot Light Kid are unbelievable statements as well.
