what are the favorite albums of artists? Frank Zappa apparently liked Procol Harum's Whiter Shade of Pale. I wonder what else he liked though.
There's an interesting interview in the late 70s or early 80s when we were asked if he was a "rock" fan and he answered no
I think it's this interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eln3J6BxWN0 but I could be wrong.
He lists off a couple of musicians he likes, it's mostly classical and foreign musicians.
Also the inner notes of Freak Out! Lists his musical inspirations.
