i listened for 15 years just to realize he's dogshit
>>
>>128100541
it took you 15 YEARS to realize that?
>>
>>128100541
Yes, but did you masturbate to Ruth???
>>
His 'composing' is the same as zoomers clicking through the computer programs piano roll. He had no concept of what shit sounded like when he wrote music, he just scribbled notes. He wasn't a visionary, he was a creepy tryhard nerd that read books to learn how to notate music to show off, then just scribbled shit down and betas played it for him

He’s both great and total shit. It’s really quite an accomplishment.
>>
>>128100623
He may be great at guitar techniques, but musically he just sucks major ass. I guess he understood it, hence Bobby Brown, but the very most of his stuff is just overly and unnecessarily complicated. It just doesn't work and his audience were a huge part of this pseudo-intellectual circle jerk.
His attempt to arrange an orchestra and the statement "i had to pay it all by myself" is none the less pathetic.

He understood politics well, but as a musician he represents the poorest form of narcissism - nobody understands my genius.

Hot Rats is good thougheverbeit

pfft 15 years to realise that? i know without hearing a single second of it
>>
>>128100582
Beefheart is like 200 tiers of quality above z*ppa, one actually wrote good songs, the other just jacked off and recorded it
>>
My new friend knew i was into 'out there' music so he told me hey listen to zaapa itll heckin blow your mind, it was his fav artist. Zappas rat face always put me off so i avoided his "music", but then since my friend insisted i listened to 1/10 of a track and then i told him "my brother, this shit sucks massive balls, youre listening to this bc you were told to, you were told it was good, it is not". He eventually stopped listening to this dreck, i bullied him for years about it, nonetheless.

HELP IM A ROCK

dude just needed an editor.
too much garbage to sift thru to get to the good.
>>
>>128100541
i had been hearing his name since i was like 8 (i'm a 26 yo zoomer) so i finally decided to sit down and listen to some of his albums. there's some really good shit, a lot of really bad shit, some really weird shit (the kind that i'm not sure if i'd end up really loving or really hating upon repeated listens), so i see where the praise comes from but he's not for me.

that said, watermelon in easter hay immediately became one of my favorite songs ever. made me feel things and it's such a simple song overall.
>>

>watermelon in easter hay
Well you did honestly try. I'm not a Zappa fan but noodling aside, that's a song I can happily listen to. Thank you.
>>
>>128100541
I really, really like him.
One of my favourite albums of all time is Make A Jazz Noise Here.

>>128100541
This but me with Green Day.

There was an interview with one of his band members who said at some point in a tour they would get a song sounding really good, but Frank didn't want that and he would change it or take it in another direction that they didn't like as much.

none of them are particularly notable but it says he's from cambridge ma. hopefully a retarded zappa fan goes to every car wash in cambridge and uses his tardrage strength to tear him a new one
>>
you're never getting those years back
>>
I HECKING HATE DRUGS AND DRUGIES, ALLRIGHT?
>smokes 4 packs of cigarettes a day
>dies from cancer in an early age

Remember this was the person we were talking about. Zappa was a retarded midwit.
>>
>>128105997
I can only imagine the dissapointment of OP when he realized after studying zappas music for 15 years that it was garbage
>>
the ultimate redpill is to deny. zappa is not art music, and he failed at making art music. he is not an artist, he is a comedian. he makes funny kitschy fart psychedelic music. he was the jimmy pop of the 60s. the mothers were the bloodhound gang of the 60s.

It's never too late to realize he was a pretentious blowhard

>porta potty rolls in from stage left
>zappa emerges from porta potty and steps to microphone
>sticks a trumpet in his ass
>farts into trumpet and plays Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy backwards
>diarrhea sprays out of horn onto an American Flag
>>
>>128100541
his 70s stuff is terrific, especially the jazz-rock albums
Hot Rats, Grand Wazoo, Waka/Jawaka, Sleep Dirt... all incredible
>>
>>128107050
Holy fucking kino, the natural endpoint of music
>>
>zappa pulls out a fishing rod
>puts a banana on the hook
>casts line into crowd
>reels it in with a black guy on it hooked through the cheek
>gets on his knees
>jerks off the black guy and shoots his load onto a King James Bible
>>
>>128103496
very true but he was too much of a raging egomaniac to ever agree to that
>>
Can't wait for Halloween 78.
>>
>>128103242
this. also Beefheart was actually funny, unlike Zappa
>>
>>128100541
stinkfoot hehe

It took me less then ten minutes
>>
>>128100541
Valley girl is a masterpiece and that's his worth, ironic shitposting
>>
>>128100541
Where should I go next with his music? I really like Apostrophe, Sheik Yerbouti, Chunga's Revenge, Over Nite Sensation, Zoot Allures and One Size Fits All
>>
>>128110142
I like his first album Freak Out a lot.
>>
>>128110142
Uncle Meat, Waka/Jawaka, and Roxy Elsewhere are all pretty good.
>>
Billy The Mountain is one of the best and worst things I have ever heard in my entire life. It is also a great way to clear the lounge at my local bowling alley as well.

I don't think it needs that long ass one minute intro and and additional ~5 minutes of runtime. The two combined made me think this was going to be trash.
>>
>>128100541
shut up retard
>>
>>128110432
without context i agree it is a bit tedious but in the context of the album where there's a narrator in several tracks it wasn't that jarring.
>>
>>128100541

Try You Are What You Is

Admittedly rather hit-or-miss, BUT
>Teenage Wind
>The Meek Shall Inherit Nothing
>Suicide Chump
>Drafted Again
are all pretty great
>>
>>128105876
Not sure what song that was, but you can hear it happen to King Kong’s different versions live
>>
>retards falling for zappa shitposts
he's laughing his ass off from the grave
try listening to his actual musical efforts
https://youtu.be/qdyhmdc57JU?list=RDqdyhmdc57JU

wonder what his music would sound like if he took acid. it couldn't get much more out there
