When I first heard The Blimp recording back in the 1970's I was stunned . While The Beatles with Sir George Martin as producer were making Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club , Cpt Beefheart and The Magic Band with Zappa produced two albums of exceptional originality in Trout Mask Replica . Trout Mask took 4.5 hours to record while Sgt Peppers took over a year !!! Sgt Peppers now sounds tired and boring , while Trout Mask sounds more fresh and original than ever.
Although I do agree that TMR is as fresh sounding as ever if not more so, Sgt. Pepper will always be a classic to me. Pet Sounds is slightly better though in my oppinion. Oh, and Sgt. Pepper came out in '67, while TMR came out in '69 if I'm not mistaken. Safe as Milk came out in '67.
@MirrorManism Pepper took four months to make and LIKE TMR there is NOTHING like it ; its not tired and boring,its brilliant and made everything that came after it possible

Perhaps one of the greatest songs ever recorded. Trout Mask blew my mind the first time I heard it. Awesome!!!
