thinking fellers union local # 282 - mother of all saints
Experimental, playful, complex, melodic, memorable, easy to endlessly replay. Great riffs, weird vocals, a very tight but loose band (if that makes sense).... doesn't take itself too seriously (but is very serious about making music)... all the songs are very different from each other. Sounds like it was recorded in a toilet, which is a good sound for this kind of music. Every time I play it, I hear something new. Just endlessly fascinating and very rewarding and embodies everything I love about music.
Also, as a runner up, captain beefheart... anything by him really, though I guess I mention Ice Cream for Crow a lot so I'll go with that... it has all the elements of the above album.. but with lots of slide guitar, which is like my favorite thing, period.
