Animal collective, some of their earlier records can be difficult, but they all have at least decent artistic merit

If you genuinely think that Zappa's entire discography is a pile of shit, go ahead and be a contrarian but you're wrong.

>>73131753
Their discrography is a bit less of a treck though compared to, say, John Zorn or Zappa. Just in quantity.

>>73132132
>>73132154
Is that why other hacks like Pierre Boulez, Adrian Belew, Chad Wackerman, Chester Thompson, Terry Bozzio and George Duke worked with him?

>>73132193
nobody has heard all of John Zorn's music, not even John Zorn

>>73132213
Any essentials you would recommend?

>>73130283
I would love to try this one day OP but I have trouble maintaining an erection for long enough to try and feel very ashamed of myself in front of my pet chimp.

>he doesn't have the ability to critically analyse music himself so he refers to other musicians as evidence.
How does it feel to be that reliant on other people's opinions?

Floyd has a largish discog, Bowie is very prolific.

They'd occupy you for a while and they both have ups and downs.

>>73132234
> How does it feel to be that reliant on other people's opinions?
I don't know, correct maybe? He was praised in his lifetime and his music is being performed today by orchestras:

So you're not backing down from the 'people tell me what to like' stance?
Good for you

>Good for you
What are you even talking about? We're not defending a cute pop star here, but you're trying to frame me as being influenced by """ them """ into liking subpar music. When people who've played with Allan Holdsworth, Robert Fripp and conducted the works of Edgard Varese, Anton Webern, Schoenberg, Berg worked with Zappa, doesn't that suggest he is worth listening to? Not to mention that he pioneered a couple of subgenres of music too.

>>73132227
Naked City
Madness, Love and Mysticism
Bar Kokhba

three very different albums, roughly speaking most of his work leans towards either of these three.

>>73132350
Thank you. As far as Marc Ribot goes, is he similar in style to Derek Bailey? I'm asking because he's a collaborator of Zorn's and I can't stomach Bailey at all.

>>73132349
Just because it's not pop doesn't mean you're excused for not having your own opinion and following others. Also, bullshit did he pioneer any genres unless you're counting spork core and ironic doo wop

>>73130283
How do you like it so far? There's only a couple of not so great Marillion albums imho.

>immediately think of Zappa

>>73132377
IME he's a lot more bluesy than Bailey. I think he's great in some of the Masada projects.

>>73132388
>Spork
Just as I thought you were actually being serious. Either way, how do you discover new music? Do names of musicians just come to you and you're totally not getting any possible recommendations? And how could you possibly have deduced that I'm devoid of having my own opinion if I like an artist you don't? This is getting ridiculous.

Merzbow

Steven Wilson if you include all his bands and side projects

Sparks

I'm not sure why I'm even going this much in depth with you.

>>73132434
>And how could you possibly have deduced that I'm devoid of having my own opinion if I like an artist you don't?
I've already explained. Do you have short term memory less or are you just fucking stupid? You used other musicians opinions of frank Zappa as your own by citing them as 'proof' that he's great
>Either way, how do you discover new music? Do names of musicians just come to you and you're totally not getting any possible recommendations?
I don't ask for recommendations, no. Of something is recommended to me I'll listen to it and decide for myself if it's good. I don't do a quick google search to see what famous musicians like that artist. I mainly get my own music through research on the internet

Also just greentexting the word spork doesn't mean you can get off of your statement that he pioneered genres. I'd like to see some examples

I wonder if anyone has listened to the entire The Fall discography. I love The Fall and I know I haven't. That's a huge discography.

>>73132510
I stopped after kurious oranj because it started to get painfull

>>73132496
And you are infallible now, right? Because you personally don't like an artist that automatically makes them not worth listening to? Research on the Internet you say. And that's completely devoid of any recommendations and opinions other than your own? I'm almost certain that you are one of those people who simply can't fathom the idea of music with a sense of humor and satire. If Zappa is so horrible, what artists do you enjoy? Perhaps we would agree on those, but not on him.

>>73132562
>Perhaps we would agree on those, but not on him.
Which I find is the case in most situations.

>>73132562
If you look at our conversation without bias you can see that I have never said that frank Zappa wasn't worth listening to or even that he was bad (steaming pile of shit guy wasn't me). Music can have humour but Zappa sacrificed his own talent (which he definitely had) to do wacky humour. I like some of his stuff but Zappa fans just fucking disgust me. I like a lot of stuff so it's hard to pick a few to represent myself with, especially someone who's foaming at the mouth ready to bite my dick off. Still waiting on those genres though if you haven't taken back that statement yet

>>73132653
I posted that 15 minutes ago:
>>73132494
And what makes you so sure that I'm mad? I'm fully aware that Zappa is popular to hate here and I can't do anything to change the opinion of a meme lord.

>>73132704
I'm not saying you're a meme lord, given that you've said that you are indeed a fan, though not of all of his music. And didn't the last two sentences suggest I was being considerate and not mad?

>>73132704
I wouldn't say any of Zappas stuff is avant prog and jazz rock is just a rockist term for jazz fusion that excludes jazz artists

>>73132704
>>73132734
This guy isn't me but I agree with his sentiment

>>73132909
>13 studio albums
>more than 50 live albums
I love me some King Crimson but that shit has to stop

>>73132791
That just settles it then.

>>73132265
Floyd made like two albums that aren't perfect.

>>73132949
it's not that many if you ignore the collector's club

>>73132988

>>73132525
Then you missed out hard on The Real New Fall LP (aka Country on the Click)
