Been surprised how many people don't know him, so let me ask you anons, are you Zappa-pilled?If not, then you are in to discover one of the greatest musicians of all time.
>>132092677>Zappa-pilledI discovered him only last year and fell in love so yes anon
He's great. Kind of a meme, but great.
OP, can you actually give us some song recs?
>>132092677I own about 70 Zappa/Mothers CDs
>>132096549OP here. The best starting point would likely depend on someone's preexisting musical tastes
>>132092677cringe music
>>132092677Zappa really fell off after 1969, the spirit isn't the same. Cruising with Ruben & the Jets, We're Only in It for the Money and Uncle Meat are all remarkable. The Project/Object versions of these albums and others are worth seeking out. The guy gave us An Evening with Wild Man Fischer, but also withheld the original Bat Chain Puller by Captain Beefheart.FZ got me deeper into Doo-Wop, and for that I'll be forever grateful. I'm happy to have all these things be a part of my life.>>132096558What are your favorites?
>>132097262The best place to start is of course indubitably Hot Rats
>>132097262KekIf OP can't provide, I can. Found image online when searching for Zappa flow chart.

>>132107670yeah, he went straight to all time great.
>>132100187That's more Beefheart then Zappa
I used to listen a ton of Zappa back when I was learning to smoke pot. My personal favorite is Roxy & Elsewhere live album, but Zappa's discography is a pile of gold and there are loads of joy to be found from there. I also recommend the live dvd The Dub Room Special with the insane clay animations and shit. Great stuff!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FOztOsXtr8
