"Kurt Cobain famously said it was one of his favourite albums, and some of his more avant-garde output, such as his collaborations with beat writer William S. Burroughs, is directly influenced by the searing, atypical guitar lines from Trout Mask Replica. Likewise Red Hot Chili Pepper’s guitarist John Frusciante has also claimed it as a major inspiration and in his less accessible solo work one can again find the album’s touch."
