Richard Manuel really the Brian Wilson of Canada on here

very close to finished with my list @rvi

how many of my top 5 can you guess this year? you nearly nailed the last few iirc

Cowgirl in the Sand
a Sly song
Closing My Eyes
an Elvis song
Whispering Pines

HM: a Fairport song

how the f*** did you guess that Fleetwood? Don't remember last time we talked about it

Kinda gotta give it to Suspicious Minds out of all his classics this year

Book Song for FP but not nearly that high

you underestimate me

almost named book song specifically too

Closing My Eyes the definition of soul shattering

it's perfect. Meet On The Ledge an anthem as well.

I can't believe how high I'm ranking some Bee Gees and Moody's

The sexiest groove ever

Bee Gees not that surprising but never thought I'd see you become a Moodies fan

I revisited Uncle Meat btw and it was a hideous couple hours outside the few great moments on King Kong did Trout Mask right after cause I was in a self flaggelating mood at work

couple hours? its 1 hr 15 min, hope you werent checking out the stupid film except bonus material they tagged onto the streaming (and possibly CD?) version for some reason

Trout Mask growing any more on you? was listening to on vinyl with my friend last weekend as I ended a long break from weed and it was hitting ridiculously hard fun to be able to point out all the small details with a friend who loves it too

Yeah it has some bonus s*** on it or whatever. F***ing guy drives me nuts.

I feel like I like TMR as much as I'm ever going to. Gave it some very close listens sober at work. I respect it I know I'm gonna like almost every other Beefheart album more.

Forgetting how much of a Burrito Bro I am

well get ready for the Trout Mask lite of Lick My Decals Off, Baby before you finally get to his normie period after that

yeah thats why I said almost lol ive been on Decals for years and am not sure which album is more aggravating

im on Spotlight now but keep forgetting to play it

spotlight kid is solid. and then I predict youll like Clear Spot and find a few beefheart favorites off it

Yeah it's basically easy listening compared to the last two

Magic Band losing Ry Cooder was one of the most catastrophic blows imo wish we got a true sequel to Safe As Milk. Probably in my top 3 guitar albums with Crazy Horse and Fleetwood.

ok im done

thoughts? @RVI @twinkletoez @HeyFella

kinda surprised to see Gimme Shelter hit top 5 since i thought you got kinda sick of its ubiquitousness or something

youre probably the only person on earth who'd put Wheels above it though

i dont remember what that Faces song sounds like i need to revisit their albums

I thought you'd like that. I know its mega and ive just overplayed it a little but it still wallops at the right time.

ill admit Wheels looked very weird above it but the fuzz and steel guitar combo is too potent im a farm boy but my parents grew a ton of pot so it gives me hardcore hippie farm nostalgia

Hot Burrito #1 is the one for me

Rod slays me and Lane/McLagan/Jones were one of the tightest combos on the planet. Dont know where they found Ronnie Wood but

the last track Marriott did with them, Wrist Job, also is pulverizing

#126 amazing tune also
