I'd agree, if it were only easier to find the first album listed.

LICK MY DECALS OFF, BABY is the greatest album ever made. God, I love Captain
Beefheart. Don, if you can read this or someone passes the word to you---THANK
YOU!!! I'm thrilled to have lived during the same time in history as you, and
I'm proud to have known you personally.

NOTHING beats LICK MY DECALS OFF, BABY.

NOTHING!!!

DO YOU HEAR ME??????!!!!!!!!

Yeah ......... I love that groove .......... But "Bellerin' Plain" is
more abstract impressionism ....... It's just on another level for me.

Did you ever hear Lennon and Yoko's train sound on her album cut "Paper
Shoes"? Very impressive.
