Nice to see Treasure and Shiny Beast on your list. I use to prefer Heaven or Las Vegas but I find myself going back to Treasure more often (Lorelei, Persephone, Aloysius) and Shiny Beast is my favorite Beefheart record from start to finish although I think Lick My Decals Off, Baby to have the stronger peaks (Peon, Japan in a Dishpan, One Red Rose That I Mean). Looks like Faust IV really shot up too.

Looks like Faust IV really shot up too.
I've always been in love with the first six tracks of that album, and taking the track "Run" out of rotation really makes a big difference (had no idea that wasn't a part of some versions). It's still knocked down by "It's a Bit of a Pain" for me-- without it, it'd be jockeying for my top 10.

For some reason, I came to the sudden realization that Shiny Beast was way stronger than Safe as Milk (which has some corny 60s things that I seemed to be overlooking before). Don't know why it took me so long to think that, considering how accessible it is.

I'll try this - and that's from the top of my head, no listing involved, so many things missing for sure. Tried to limit myself to one album per artist/group, but couldn't quite do it for the Beatles (and kind of cheated with Secret Chiefs 3 and the Patton projects).

1) Mr. Bungle - Disco Volante
2) Mike Patton - Pranzo Oltranzista
3) George Harrison - Wonderwall Music
4) The Beatles - White Album
5) John Frusciante - Niandra LaDes and Usually Just a T-Shirt
6) Fantomas - The Director's Cut
7) Diamanda Galas - Malediction & Prayer
8) The Beatles - Magical Mistery Tour
9) Serge Gainsbourg - L'homme à la tête de chou
10) John Zorn - Spillane
11) Secret Chiefs 3 - Eyes of Flesh / Eyes of Flame (best live album!)
12) Captain Beefheart - Lick My Decals
13) Alice Cooper - Easy Action
14) XTC - Nonsuch (the underrated entry here)
15) The Turtles - Battle of the Bands
16) Renaud - Mistral Gagnant
17) Fred Frith - Gravity
18) The Dillinger Escape Plan - Irony is a Dead Scene
19) The Bicycle Thief - You Come And Go Like a Pop Song
20) Cardiacs - Sing to God
21) The Mothers of Invention - Weasels Ripped My Flesh
22) Tom Waits - The Black Rider
23) Traditionalists - Le Mani Destre Recise Degli Ultimi Uomini
24) Igorrr - Hallelujah
25) Funkadelic - Maggot Brain
26) Michael Nyman - Peter Greenaway Film Music (not an original album, a compilation)
27) Painkiller - 50/12
28) Jean Derome - Le Magasin de tissu
29) Saez - J'accuse
30) Milk Cult - Burn or Bury
31) Harry Nilsson - Aerial Ballet
32) Suicidal Tendencies - The Art of Rebellion (had to include it)
33) Vladimir Bozar 'N' Ze Sheraf Orkestär - Universal Sprache
34) Keith Kouna - Bonsoir Shérif

Other albums I considered and played with in my ranking (in no order):

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Naked City - Absinthe
Faith No More - Angel Dust
Les innocents - Les innocents
Boredoms - Pop Tatari
Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill
Otis Redding - Complete & Unbelievable: the Otis Redding Dictionary of Soul
Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss
Body Count - Body Count
Ruins - Symphonica
Benjamin Biolay - La Superbe
The United States of America - The United States of America

Very difficult exercise. Especially trying to include Franco artists. And well, you can't say with a straight face that Igorrr is better than Miles Davis, you just can't, but still...

Edit (already): forgot to include Zappa, had to... this pushes The Art of Rebellion to 27, but hey...
Edit 2: Maggot Brain, ST at 28 is staying in my top-25!

Fantastic picks. That Frusciante album is wildly underrated and one of the best 90s album I've heard. Lick My Decals Off Baby is a masterpiece from start to finish. Peon is my favorite piece of music ever recorded. Have you ever seen those videos of Frusciante trying to play it?

Ahah, no I hadn't (just found one on YouTube). Peon is indeed a very interesting piece, that weirdly seems to have had a lot of influence on the american "avant-garde".

Now I realize I forgot to include Maggot Brain, another fantastic album.
