I tried to like Zappa. I like the idea of Zappa. My brother got a tattoo of Frank Zappa's face on on his bicep in the army, and we agree on a lot of music. Imagine my dismay when I admitted I couldn't like any of it. On the other hand Trout Mask Replica is at least an interesting album.
- NDizzle 2y agoYou don't like ANY of it? Not even Apostrophe / Overnite Sensation?!
- the-rc 2y agoThere's not one Zappa, either. There's the one that gave us Hot Rats, which is quite different from The grand wazoo & Waka/Jawaka, which are different from Yellow Shark and Everything is healing nicely. Then there are all the guitar solo albums...
- zzzbra 2y agoZoot Allures was pretty good. besides that the only thing I like by him is his earliest stuff, like Lumpy Gravy. 90% of the his discography is unlistenable to me, and I listen mostly to stuff that people would classify as unlistenable.
- DaoVeles 2y agoZappa is the Dr Pepper of music. Either you like it or hate it.
- jawilson2 2y agoI feel the same about the Grateful Dead. I like jam bands, I like all of the bands and musicians that hung out with or played with them, all of my friends like them. Ripple is pretty nice. I should absolutely like them, but whatever magic is there my ears don't pick up on. Their studio version of Good Lovin might be the worst thing a "good" band I have ever heard recorded, like a shitty band at the community 4th of July party that 17 people are dancing to and the other 2000 are trying to ignore.
