Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band - Safe as Milk (1967)

Psychedelic delta blues art rock. I feel like I'm in the sixties rolling in the mud with rainbow colored skies swirling above me. This was Beefheart's debut album, and I think the fact that he is a monumental creative force and unquestionably influential figure in the world of rock is pretty damn clear upon your first trip through this album. Just check out that bassline on 'Zig Zag Wanderer', GOD DAMN! This shit is an all-around asskicking experience for your body, mind and soul. Get DOWN.
