Frank Zappa
    #19221180 - 12/03/13 09:13 AM (10 years, 1 month ago)

I just got 8+ Gigabytes of Frank Zappa and I'm wondering where to start. Definitely not his orchestral stuff, at least not yet. Any album reccomendations from some Zappa fans on here?  :zappa:  :zappa:  :zappa:

Apostrophe', The Grand Wazoo, Joe's Garage...

I never got into Zappa.  His music doesn't work for me.  Too corny and campy.

QFT, although some of the stuff of his I have heard is aesthetically impressive. I don't recall if it was technically impressive as well, but it simply wasn't the sort of thing your typical heavy metal homo (such as yours truly) gets real into.

I think a couple of his songs are quite witty/funny albeit a little corny(Uncle Remus, Bobby Brown). I will see if the rest really work for me. It was definitely stupid of me to get the whole discography from my friend, maybe only because I do plan on checking out the orchestral stuff.
Thats the beauty of having 2 TB of free space to collect as much music as possible.

Most metal besides (ironically) heavy metal... Which is the softest kind. Practically rock n roll, some of it.

My all-time favorite is Bal-Sagoth if you want to get a feel.

Stormlord is another of my favorites.


I do like softer stiff like Judas Priest, Type O Negative, and power metal bands

I'll look into Bal-Sagoth, thanks for the lead.

Zappa's the best, a master of so many styles, smart enough he could've done whatever he wanted for fame and riches but chose the harder road by consistantly pushing the boundaries of music instead of getting rich off the same old blues riff or whatever. Even if you don't like his music, you gotta fuckin' respect his talents. He's more than a guitarist or a songwriter or a band leader, he's all of those in one a modern age fucking composer. Pushing the boundaries of music lyrically, musically, technically, his whole life. Personally one of if not my favorite guitarist ever. Definitely top 5 no question. I'd start with Hot Rats and just go onwards :rockon:

Hot Rats
Overnite Sensation
Apostrophe '
Roxy and Elsewhere

In my opinion those are his four most accessible albums. There are several others that have one or two good cuts but the other cuts are pretty meh or even pretty turn-that-shit-off.

Frank's problem was that he had no filters. Pretty much everything he ever thought up he put on tape, and pretty much everything he put on tape he released on some album or other. Lots of it should have stayed in a studio vault instead.

But his best stuff is very very good indeed. I had the enormous good fortune to see him when he was touring with the Overnite Sensation and Apostrophe band lineup. I paid four bucks Canadian to see two and a half hours of some of the tightest, most intricate, gnarliest, crystalline clear (awesome sound technicians) music played by some of the true giants in the field. As an old Woodstock era fart I've seen almost all of the very best rock bands who ever toured in the late Sixties to the mid- Seventies, and that Zappa concert was for sure among the top ten.
