My favourite Beefheart albums in order
Trout Mask ReplicaTrout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart
Buy new: £4.48 / Used from: £3.12
This is the best album ever. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. It is perfect in every way.
Safe As Milk: RemasteredSafe As Milk: Remastered by Captain Beefheart
Buy new: £3.25 / Used from: £2.70
This was his first album and it easily stands up to the rest. A bit more stable but no less brilliant.
Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller): 2006 RemasterShiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller): 2006 Remaster by Captain Beefheart
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £3.99
Just five minutes ago I finished my review for this one. A true masterpiece.
Spotlight Kid, the/Clear SpotSpotlight Kid, the/Clear Spot by Captain Beefheart
Buy new: £4.48 / Used from: £4.20
'The Spotlight Kid' is good but 'Clear Spot' is a work of genius. 'Big Eyed Beans from Venus' is one of the greatest songs ever written.
Doc At The Radar StationDoc At The Radar Station by Captain Beefheart And The Magic Band
Buy new: £6.99 / Used from: £6.98
I'm listening to this one as I write this list. His last great masterpiece.
Ice Cream for Crow: 2006 RemasterIce Cream for Crow: 2006 Remaster by Captain Beefheart
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £4.00
Brilliant but not quite as good as the last two.
Mirror Man: the Mirror Man Sessions/RemasteredMirror Man: the Mirror Man Sessions/Remastered by Captain Beefheart
Buy new: £4.15 / Used from: £5.95
'25th Century Quaker' is incredible. This one is very raw. While I do consider myself to be a Beefheart fanatic I am still quite new to his music so there are a lot I still need to get.
Hot RatsHot Rats by Frank Zappa
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £5.98
Beefheart does the vocals on 'Willie the Pimp' and he does a fine job. Also, this is a great Zappa album.
Bongo FuryBongo Fury by Frank Zappa
Buy new: £9.48 / Used from: £7.09
Another collaberation with Frank Zappa. It's good but not as good as some people will tell you it is.
