Off top. 10 is hard. Only one of these isn’t a proper rock record and even that one has wild guitar solos on it and s***. Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!, Funhouse, Swell Maps in ‘A Trip to Marineville’, and White Light/White Heat omitted in favor of shining light on lesser known albums.

also s/o Alice Coltrane, Tim Buckley, Boredoms, GY!BE, Grouper, Captain Beefheart, Burial, Radiohead.... I'm definitely forgetting a lot rn
Tago Mago ✊🏽
Which Beefheart and Boredoms would have made your list?
i don’t really do lists but most of my taste is non hip hop
fav genres are alt rock, soul, grunge, ambient, and folk

goat German band to me
prolly Vision Creation Newsun (also love Super ae tho) and for Beefheart Safe As Milk (Trout Mask is one of the most unique visions ever committed to music tho).
Only recently checked out some earlier Boredoms, need to dive deeper there. I actually saw Seiichi and Yoshimi in Osaka and Tokyo, respectively, while traveling Japan two years ago :)

Oh s***, that’s awesome! I started with the earlier stuff (Pop Tatari and Soul Discharge) but also Seadrum. The very first LP, Osorezan no Stooges Kyo, is super weird but really cool from a production standpoint, particularly for the time. Love all of their stuff, though.
Safe as Milk is underrated since it’s the most “normal” early record. Every album has good songs (even the two everyone hates; “Observatory Crest” and “Upon the My-Oh-My” are two of my absolutely favorite Beefheart tracks) but I think I still like Trout Mask the best. It was the first one I heard and I still love it (in spite of the events surrounding its creation, which is a whole story unto itself that involves starvation, isolation and John French allegedly being thrown bodily down a flight of stairs).
