Great album. My least favorite track is Willie the Pimp... ------------- He neither drank, smoked, nor rode a bicycle. Living frugally, saving his money, he died early, surrounded by greedy relatives. It was a great lesson to me -- John Barrymore |

| Good to see Son of Mr. Green Genes and The Gumbo Variations don't have any votes yet. I could understand an argument for any of the others, but for me it's definitely Little Umbrellas. No bad songs on the album though. |

| The Pimp is a little too greedy. Few minutes too long. |

| It Must Be A Camel for me. That's one excellent track, with the rest being absolutely superb !! |

Not a fan of Willie either, though nothing on this album is bad really. |

The Gumbo Variations... just way too much aimless noodling that doesn't really fit with the great compositions on the album. ------------- https://borealkinship.bandcamp.com/releases" rel="nofollow - My prog band - Boreal Kinship |

Not gonna lie, I didn't want to be that guy, because I couldn't believe Willie the Pimp far and away has the most votes. Everyone seems to be pretty Beefheart-averse here at PA, lmao. ------------- "I am so prog, I listen to concept albums on shuffle." -KMac2021 |

Not a bad track ...they all rule as Mick already said...... but Frenetic gets my vote for the second place as most resurrected thread starter. ;) ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

| I have the album and have listened to it but don't really know it well enough to vote. I was tempted to say Willie the pimp though because I don't care much for Beefheart's vocals. "Peaches en regalia" and "Son of mr. green genes" are my two favorites though. The last few I'm not as familiar with. |

| Beefheart sounds like he’s had a diet of sand-paper and crushed glass, but his voice is a lot of fun really. Willie was the song that got me into Zappa around 1990. Took me a long time to amass my 36 LP Zappa collection though. |

It wouldn't have worked...ontext man.. it was greasy slutty and dirty.. and the Captain was perfect for it.... context.....something a lot of people seem to overlook... ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |
