Quote from: TRG on August 23, 2009, 04:11:36 PMGeez, I forgot Clear Spot. That is a good album.Regarding TMR, I think its status as a classic may have something to do with the number of critics and musicians that have championed it over the years. I think Lester Bangs said that it was the greatest album ever made. But I don't believe it's any great piece of art. It sounds pretentious and mostly unlistenable to me. Although, the same could be said for LMDOB. I like it though. Decals is great raw and loose but more cohesive than Trout Mask.My favorite Trout tune wold have to be Dachau Blues.Those poor Jews.Tangent: There is some debate regarding the the Mothers rather than the Magic Band backing the Cap't on THe Blimp.To my ears: quite possibly true.

I know that according to the canon, Jazz is "old people's music", but Terence Blanchard's A Tale of God's Will is beautiful.
