Trout Mask Replica
The ultimate grower. It might be his best and certainly his most famous, but I'd start with Safe as Milk and then move to Decals before tackling this beast tbh. |

Bat Chain Puller
Slightly edges out the one originally released in the '70's. For one, the production is better on this record. |

Strictly Personal
The Captain himself doesn't like it much, and for good reason...... but I love it!!! |

Bluejeans and Moonbeams
better than it's reputation. |

Mirror Man
I know the Captain hates Strictly Personal, because of the phasing and also he didn't have control of his own project at that point. But trying to make up for it by releasing an album of unfinished, extended blues jams hardly makes up for it. |

Unconditionally Guaranteed
I didn't mind it after a few listens, but some of these songs kind of drag and lack potency. |
