What do you guys think of Frank Zappa?
Is he cool in these parts?
it's pretty much the only music I listen to. Would such music catch on today?
>>63288707
It already is

>it's pretty much the only music I listen to. Would such music catch on today?
No, the current music market values mediocrity and consistency, the exact opposite of what Zappa gave.
>>63288889
not true by the way
>>63288816
so you're saying it is liked here?
i know trout mask replica is a meme here, which frank was the producer for. "the blimp" is played by his band
But i think there is something about Frank's music that is not 'cool' at all
>>63289085
I was talking on catching on today, I've never heard anyone call him cool here before though.
I can't stand Zappa's music, his personality, or his fans.

Lurk moar

there isn't much Frank here, but he's still generally liked. There's probably a thread about him once a week or so.
>>63289237
Same.
>>63288707
He's a goofball XD
>>63289237
>>63289388
Why is that
>>63288889
As opposed to the music market Zappa lived in? He literally made an album making fun of The Beatles for only being in it for the money.
need to give him another go, when i was 16-17 and first listened to his music, it mostly annoyed the shit out of me with the exception of this track https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dcu32QXtTw4 which i've loved for years
>>63289359
once a week?
I would say that's a whole lot.
So, where do I start if I want to get into this man's music?

This nigga busted a huge nut on psychedelic rock
Genuine contender for most influential artist of the 20th century. Genuine contender for best composer of the 20th century as well, but thatt claim could be easily contested.

pretty simple choice, but this song combines pretty much every aspect of his music, attitude, and humor
then you can check out this for his most orchestral type thing:

>>63289625
We're Only in it For the Money --> Lumpy Gravy --> Freak Out --> Absolutely Free --> Uncle Meat --> Rest of his discog in chronological order up until 1979
That's how I got into him.
