i see what you did there
What does Yea Forums think of Frank Zappa's music?
Love it. "I am the slime from your video" seems more relevant today with Big Orange puking out crap every day, but it was always slime.
The one thing I didn't like about him was that he stated problems with society but didn't have solutions. He would state a problem and then get pissed when everyone else didn't immediately get busy and fix the things he saw were wrong. That's the easy part, Frank!
When he named his daughter Moon Base, that ended it for me. Some stuff was brilliant, most wasn't.
Moon Unit, the voice of Valley Girl.
Son is called Dweezil.
Joe's Garage is good and so is Valley Girl but most of his stuff is pretty strange.
Now is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho?
Fucking genius, a pioneer even. Also it takes some balls and dedication to release 40+ albums and never sell out or even make it into mainstream
Moon Unit
Oh shit, I forgot about Dweezil, probably on purpose.

Well, he did credit Edgard Varèse and Karl Kohn as influences on the Hot Rats album. And he did throw some pseudo-twelvetone bits into some of his work.
His most accessible pieces, though, are the ones based on doo-wop and pachuco styles.
