>I can tell you three Beatles songs I enjoy: Paperback Writer,

Honestly shocking

>>71458502
shockingly what

Zappa had weird taste, I don't really understand his criterion but those Beatles songs are great and I remember he said some nice stuff about King Crimson once but he shat on a lot of stuff too pretty openly

>"Frank Zappa is the most untalented musician I've ever heard... He can't play rock 'n roll because he's a loser...". Lou Reed
>"He isn't really interested in music...he's using music for ammunition". John Cale in Oor, January 1994.

>>71458479
makes sense, Zappa is all rhythm and blues mixed with psychedelia and classical influence. each of these songs kind of reflect that.

paperback writer has a great driving beat (for a Beatles song)

strawberry fields is orchestrated and quirky

and i am the walrus is i am the walrus.

>>71458479
All fine picks. I thought he'd also include Day Tripper in there.

>>71458728
>He isn't really interested in music...he's using music for ammunition
I've honestly never seen something so true

>>71458728

how do you think he meant 'using music as ammunition'?

>>71458728
John is right you know

Also that is the most Lou Reedy Lou Reed quote I've seen in a while

>>71458728
>>71458806
lou reed was /mu/ before it was cool

>>71458872
w-we're all talentless hacks?

>>71458728
Did Trump ghostwrite that Lou Reed quote?
Either way I agree unironically

>>71458728
Pretty laughable how insecure the Velvet Underground was. Zappa didn't like them and was getting more promotion, so they shit all over him when he was a much better all-around musician. They made one influential album, Zappa did far more.

>>71458781
The music under the message was always more important to him. It's not true at all.

>>71458479
>likes the Beatles
it's shit

>>71458728
>He can't play rock 'n roll because he's a loser

What a mature, thoughtful criticism.

>>71458919

you can tell how insecure Zappa was based on his hatred towards more talented/successful musicians (see:David Bowie, The Beatles)

>>71458919
>Fuck you, Captain Tom

What a mature, thoughtful criticism.

>>71458931
Or maybe, just maybe, he was making fun of everyone and not taking himself too seriously. Weird how David Bowie and The Beatles were smart enough to recognize this and not publicly deride him, but everyone in the Velvet Underground felt the need to tell everyone that they thought he was shit.

>>71458935
Let's also remember that this was in response to David Bowie going behind his back to hire Belew mid-tour, and that he wasn't a dick to Adrian about it. He was a real life shitposter. You can think he's an ass without getting so assblasted you can't acknowledge why his music was important / insult a dead man.

>zappa talks shit
>"dude he was just making fun of the situation don't take him seriously"

>lou reed (a known troll) talks shit
>"wow that guy is so insecure man what's his problem!?"

>>71458903
>They made one influential album
>(not true, by the way)

>>71458479
Those are three of my favorites.

>>71459081

Sarcastic narcissist ≠ Troll

>>71458931
This is album is better than Sgt. Pepper

>>71458479

Kind of funny considering over half his material is unlistenable

>>71458728
Didn't Reed introduced Zappa in the r
Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame?

>>71459350
yes he did lol

>>71459330
Maybe if you are a pleb. Get some taste and try again.

>>71459350
He did, and you could hear the disdain in his voice. Afterwards Moon basically told him and everyone there that Frank would have told them to fuck off if he were there... in a subtle way.

Like Scaruffi, another pompous shit, Frank's favorite Beatle was the one closest to resembling himself, John. So he loved all the John-penned songs and hated Paul.

>>71459443
why would it be john when he was the most retarded musically

>>71459443
You are fucking retarded lol

zappa is a poser fuck and his opinions don't matter

>>71458479

>Zappa not mentioning Revolution 9

Zappa, I am disappoint.
