Sunshine Hit Me
The BeesFantastic songwriting and arranging. Would’ve given an extra star if the album had the production quality and musicianship it deserved.

Trout Mask Replica
Captain Beefheart & His Magic BandMusic isn’t complicated. If it’s unlistenable, even if that was part of your intention when creating it, it’s bad music.
