Frank Zappa, composer, musician

Zappa was a self-proclaimed "practical conservative", an avowed supporter of capitalism and independent business.
Zappa recorded over fifty albums. Swim considers him a musical genius.

"He worked in almost every musical genre and wrote music for rock bands, jazz ensembles, synthesizers and symphony orchestra, as well as musique concrète works constructed from pre-recorded, synthesized or sampled sources. In addition to his music recordings, he created feature-length and short films, music videos, and album covers." -Wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Zappa

He disdained the psychedelic culture, but nevertheless...

Hot Rats ...
Catholic Girls ...
Dinah Mo Humm ...
Who are the brain police? ...

etc, etc, etc

Zappa is awesome.

Re: Frank Zappa, composer, musician

Absolutely. I rate Frank Zappa as one of the greatest 20th century popular musicians. He played so many different styles, incorporated and innovated producing a catalogue of albums that few people can match in this day and age. I love the way, although the music is excellent and intricate, the lyrics are largely comical probably because he thought "all the good music has already been written by people with wigs and stuff".

Re: Frank Zappa, composer, musician

I like some Zappa more than others. I haven't actually heard that much, to be honest, but I prefer his jazzier instrumental stuff (Hot Rats is fantastic) to his more pop-influenced pieces. I'm not a huge fan of his guitar style either, although I don't particularly mind it.

AW: Frank Zappa, composer, musician

I love his cynical humor, Wet T-shirt time, joes Garage, Sheik Yerbouti and Apostrophe, ah... Roxy and Elsewere are good examples. I was very sad, as he died much to early. Like many genius people....

FZ Guitar Solos You Should Hear:

"Black Napkins" from Zoot Allures
"Rat Tomago" and "Yo' Mama" from Sheik Yerbouti
"He Used to Cut the Grass" and "Watermelon in Easter Hay" from Joe's Garage
"Pick Me, I'm Clean" from Tinseltown Rebellion
"Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch" and "I Come From Nowhere" from Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch
"Inca Roads" from The Best Band You've Never Heard in Your Life

Just the tip of the iceberg...
