Is he the epitome of quantity over quality?

No, he is the epitome of quarantanativity over coagulostics.

No. He was always pushing boundaries so it was inevitable he'd produce some duds. His best work is incredible.

pretty much
not only did he put out every material ever performed for any reason at all regardless of merit
but any one of his tunes is a run on sentence at best like a rambling drunk

>>71963269
nah, merzbow is the epitome of quantity over quality... hundreds of releases a lot are shit

>>71963286
King Crimson was always pushing boundaries and never produced duds.

>>71963300
King Crimson has one good album
Zappa has over ten

>>71963269
For his style he did both. He was very diverse but more often than not his releases were solid.

I would say Dylan post 60s or Neil Young post 70s better fits that description.

Shit taste: the post

>>71963269
He's a balance of quantity and quality

zappa has more good albums than crimson has albums. however, most crimson albums are good, and zappa released a shitton of albums.

>>71963466
Objectively correct taste.
Go listen to your Tool records, Progfag

You can't look at all of Zappa's albums the same way.

Just Another Band from LA for example is terrible musically. You don't listen to it for that kind of pleasure. It's a comedy album.

Some albums that are ostensibly part of the main canon are apocryphal, like 200 Motels.

Still others are strictly political (Mothers of Prevention), responses to bootlegs (Beat the Boots), or novelty experiments (Francesco Zappa). My theory as to why he flooded his discography with so many live albums during the last few years of his life was as a favor to his musicians who I assume accrue performance royalties.

>>71963548
t. progfag in denial
Zappa is prog, just not good prog. It's just that you've shaped your taste around Zappa's shit prog so much so that actually good prog sounds shit. It's like how, if you grow up eating shit and are told that it's a brownie, you'll vomit as soon as you taste an actual brownie because the actual good stuff is foreign to your and your shit taste.

yeah like in holes when stanley was eatin all those onions and then he went home and didn't like his frosted flakes

Bro, have you listened to Hot Rats?

probably some noise group like wolf eyes cause they have a million fucking cassettes, cds, records, bootlegs etc. etc. which are all basically the same thing

Is it just me or was Zappa really handsome desu?

>>71963350
this

>>71964832
Probably. Omar's albums are listenable and there is clearly artistic merit to the records whereas Bucket...well, I think we all know.

>>71964832
Omar maybe . But bucket head has released literally like ten albums a month for two years

No, that's Buckethead.

No. You realize Zappa was an extreme workaholic and that's why he has so many fucking albums. Nothing to do with quality.

>>71963286
>he was always pushing boundaries
Zappa fans actually believe this

>>71966883
he definitely was. i mean he released one of the first jazz fusion albums. You realize hot rats came before bitches brew.

>>71966883
have you listened to the synclavier albums? virtually no one has done anything similar before or since

>>71963282
Nice.

>>71967164
Jazz fusion had been done about two years before
>>71967207
I'm pretty sure I've heard stuff like that before but I never downloaded it because it sounds like shit so I won't be able to refute you with evidence there

Buckethead has good stuff littered throughout the pikes, its just really outlines of song idea with improv solos over them so theres no room for them to breathe. If he sat down and worked on them even twice as long and then released them in a proper album format (giant robot or bucketheadland) they could be legit

>>71965500
Living proof you can get laid if you're not conventionally attractive, just focus on your actual personality and talent more

Arthur miller proved that long before

That's awesome. I have a lot of respect for Zappa. Him and Jimi Hendrix are untouchable as rock legends.
