Frank Zappa

his progressive work with the Mothers is some of the best in the genre

>>74906211
One of the best discographies in popular music
Incredibly eclectic, incredibly consistent, always unique

>>74906211

>>74906395
Well, until the 80s at least
Not stylistically, in terms of quality

Name 1 (ONE) artist of the past century who made (and also help make) more interesting music in such high quality and quantity as Frank Zappa.

Brian Eno

I've never understood why his mid-late 70s sorta comedy/cheesy rock is so much more well known and liked than his genius stuff from the 60s.

I don't mind Apostrophe and Joe's Garage and stuff, but it just can't even compete with his first bunch of albums

>>74906603
>this is a dog talking now
Stink-Foot always makes me laugh

You could probably also make arguments for Miles Davis, Sun Ra, The Residents, and John Zorn(?), but I would definitely say Zappa tops them all

>>74908105
Half of his music is a snoozefest, my dude

>>74908394
he says in the fucking FRANK ZAPPA thread

>>74906211
Someone recommend me the best Zappa records that aren't WHACKY POO PEE AUTISM

I've already listened to Hot Rats, One Size Fits All and We're Only In It for The Money and liked all three, WOIFTM because its humor wasn't as unfunny to me

>>74909792
Lumpy Gravy
Uncle Meat
Burnt Weeny Sandwich
Waka/Jawaka
The Grand Wazoo
Roxy & Elsewhere
Zoot Allures
Sleep Dirt
Mothers of Prevention
Jazz from Hell
The Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life

thx tbqh

No problem
Huge Zappa fan here, I do really recommend diving into his discography chronologically
His 60s albums are not only some of his best and most innovative work, but they also have more satirical humor (as opposed to the scatological stuff he got into later)
But don't always be quick to dismiss more vulgar albums like Sheik Yerbouti - there's a ton of great instrumental work on albums like that too
Either way, enjoy some Zappa

he's for kids with fedoras and unicycles right

>>74909840
great list, I can't really think of anything to add or take away, maybe just You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore vol 2

He's One Of The GOATS Of American Music. Some EdgeFags On /Mu Like To Shit Talk Him. Obviously Not Everything That He Put Out Is A 10/10, But The Fact Is That His Contributions To The Music Industry Are Immense.

Also, I'm Currently Listening To 'Broadway The Hard Way'.

So Far I'm Enjoying It.

I recently had What's The Ugliest Part Of Your Body stuck in my head for like three days

>>74907154
Bartok, Penderecki, Schnittke, Rautavaara and pretty much all actual composers

I am Zappa newbie too, I enjoy his more hard rock/guitar driven stuff. What are some albums that display this side of his music?

>>74911486
Over-Nite Sensation, Apostrophe, One Size Fits All, Zoot Allures.

>>74911702
Thanks, I've already listened to Over-Nite Sensation and Apostrophe and they are great!

>hasn't heard American Idiot

>>74906395
66-79 is all gold. Most artists can barely string quality albums

>>74911735
Green Day are unbelievably shit. I really hope you're memeing.
