Uncle Meat's Strictly Personal Philosophy of the World Not necessarily my favourite examples off all three, but I feel that these work rather well together (thus, say, "Nine Types of Industrial Pollution" instead of "Dog Breath, In The Year Of The Plague"). I opted not to do multiple votes. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

Hi, Fun poll ... I have not actually given the Captain a good listen at all in these years, but I have to admit that after seeing a special on him, and then catching this ... I am actually appreciating someone like him. What surprised me the most is how much he and the Edgar Broughton Band were so similar in their early days ... totally surprised, although I find the lyrics in EBB a lot more valuable in many ways ... while for my ears, the Captain's work is completely different and something that you hope to catch one day in a bar somewhere, but this guy is way out there ... the folks in the bar would never know what they are missing! Too drunk, right? (I do have Moonbeams and Blue Jeans and it's a really nice album!!!!!) The Shaggs ... I better not comment. Rumor has it that some folks in this place are actually in drag, and played in that group!

Easily, Zappa. And I enjoy Strictly Personal more than the average man I suspect. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

The Shaggs are fun, I love the drumming and the whole off-kilter feel. The titular song from the album is one of my most quoted: "You can never please anybody in this world." "Oh, the rich people want what the poor people's got And the poor people want what the rich people's got And the skinny people want what the fat people's got And the fat people want what the skinny people's got...." I'm happy to see a Vote for The Shaggs. Considering that The Partridge Family got 29 votes compared to Yes' 6 voted and Genesis 10 votes in YESESIS poll, I thought it would get a vote from at a least a few wags, or at least more recognition in the responses. Mind you, this is a more logical trio (music the same time, some musical similarities, Zappa and Beeheart have a relation and Zappa praised The Shaggs) and perhaps the humour of it isn't so obvious or out there. And of course it doesn't include Yes and Genesis, which get a huge amount of recognition at the forum. Zappa's relationship with Captain Beefheart should be very well know to many of us, but Zappa, even if ironically, famously said that "The Shaggs are better than The Beatles" (he had had something of a little feud with the Beatles despite loving music/album by The Beatles' music), and Zappa declared The Shaggs "the third best band in history". I genuinely love The Shagg's Philosophy of the World (especially the title song, the lyrics of which I quote a lot in my personal life). It's the best "so bad it's good album" album for me. I've listened to it so many times, and actually don't think it's really bad considering that the sisters were beginners (I'd be proud of the accomplishment). I find it entertaining from start to finish. I genuinely like all three albums, although I find Uncle Meat to be the most accomplished, and "Dog Breath, in the Year of the Plague" is one of my particular favourites by Zappa. I should have included a "love each in its own way" option, which is where I fall. Pedro, I once read a review claiming (jokingly I'm sure) that The Shaggs were really the Mothers of Invention is disguise. If so, I'd say that it was a very guide disguise:  I'd sooner think The Shaggs were The Residents.  ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

*blows dust off* Unca Meat for me  Simply one of my all time favorites from FZ/MothersBeefheart's album is very good, but it might have been harder for me to choose if Lick My Decals Off Baby had been here. Maybe a Shaggs vs GTO poll is in order?  ------------- RIO/AVANT/ZEUHL - The best thing you can get with yer pants on! |
