No, Stravinsky is.

Even if you were exclusively referring to artists in popular music, there are hundreds of artists who did not resort to putting out childish comedy rock for the majority of their career. Tim Buckley and Don Van Vliet both come to mind.

I'm not saying I hate Zappa or that all of his music is bad, but the levels of commercial pandering reached in the majority of his music makes claims of Zappa being "the greatest artist of the 20th century" laughable at best.

>>65332319
His orchestral compositions pale in comparison to those of any celebrated composer of the 20th century. On the other hand, the majority of his rock albums are filled with unfunny crude humor and unnecessarily complexity, both of which he admitted were nothing more than attempts at venturing into the mainstream. I'd be embarrassed to claim that he was the best artist of the 20th century, while so many other equally talented artists retained their artistic integrity.

What you'll find in these tracks isn't anything close to well-aimed humor, and I'm not even cherry picking. The majority of his music consists of childish satire with a complete lack of subtlety. It's embarassing that people like Scaruffi would claim this is a significant contribution to the "sexual revolution" (I'm not sure that Scaruffi or Zappa fans have a clue what they're trying to say in defense of this garbage).
>>65332509
His best albums are Freak Out (because of just how influential it is in rock music, rather than the mediocre attempt at satire found in the lyrics) and Hot Rats (because he completely forgoes the gimmicky "avant-garde" tape loops as well as his poor sense of humor).
>>65332675
It's a brilliant fusion of jazz and the blues, but there's no point in attempting to explain that to someone as ignorant as you.
>>
>>65332913
he put out an entire album called "does humor belong in music" and was very vocal in interviews about the fact that it does
>>
Few years back I'd say yes. But I don't know. He's up there, but there's so many good artists.
Don't forget there's a ton of modern composers, like Varise or Stravinsky, both of who influenced Zappa greatly.
>>
>>65332959
the mediocre satire ur bashing is actually what he was best at, he really was not cut out to be a composer

he rushed shit he put out 6 albums in one year once
>>
>>65332978
But he released several serious albums with no lyrics at all.

yea those albums were laughable XD he never stopped including humor in his music

>>65333154
the problem with alot of zappa's stuff along with jazz in general is that when its largely based on improvisation, you have seconds of pleasurable music followed by unorganized sounds which is worse then a whole song's worth of organized composed sounds
>>
>>65333202
>pleasurable
Not relevant
>unorganized
A musical scale is not organized?
>>
>>65333275
jazz often doesn't even obey scales

pleasure and enjoyment is very relevant to the way i listen to music, i guess if i decided who was great and what i listened to based on whether or not it would impress people then i could see why it's not relevant
>>
>>65332959
The style of much of Zappa's humor was satire. Whether you agree with it, whether you think its crude, the point is the message it gets across. A lot of Zappa's appeal was his message and personality, of which his humor was a huge part. Because his type of humor was so offensive and crude, you can't really call his more humor-based albums "sell-out" albums.

Woodie Guthrie and Frank Sinatra both had concept albums before Zappa, but I could see the argument that it was the first conscious concept album rather than a coincidence that all the songs happened to be about the same subject.

I love the magic band, but this is blatently not true, especially since the Mothers contained the magic band on several occasions. Literally over 30 people who were all masters of their craft, it's not really even a close competition.

my argument from the beginning has been that you should rate an artist based on their compositional mind

zappa was more balanced, as he was skilled on the guitar and piano amongst other instruments presumably, was a good producer who brought the best out of people with not much to offer *ahem* beefheart *ahem* and remained productive for much longer than brian, who really did have a tiny window when he was great

because theres tons of skilled instrumentalists and not that many great composers, and even though the song structure on most of brian's stuff is simple its brilliantly arranged

i would consider pet sounds and smile that tiny window yes

ITT: people who like Frank Zappa (high schoolers) arguing that he's the most influential artist of the 20th century and being shut down by people who think Stravinsky or Varese is because they're college students who used to be into Zappa and have only heard of those two composers to pull out as their true trump card in discussions such as this

embarrassing af famalam

>>65335008
>its brilliantly arranged
So was Zappa's.

Also Wilson NEEDED Asher or Van Dyke Parks. Zappa did not. That shows you he's not as great as you say.

Then it really disqualifies him based on the fact that it was so short lived.

Also smile wasn't even finished so it really doesn't count, does it?

I'm not telling you what art is, but what you should see as a fact.
If you like Zappa than fine, but don't be deluded about his minor contribution or his actual merits(though he was a great technical performer).

The ability to create a piece that could be takes seriously by anyone.
It seems like Zappa did not know if he wanted to be a comedian or a musician and unfortunately he failed as both.
>>
>>65335112
Van Dyke Parks helped Wilson with lyrics and a few small details of arrangement, and all that only on one record. Wilson's legacy was built on Pet Sounds, no matter what music nerds will try to tell you, so your argument falls apart a lot here. You won't get an argument from me that Wilson is a better arranger/composer than Parks, because I personally think he demonstrated him to completely run circles around all the other west coast American rock musicians of his era, but in this matter, you're just pulling this argument out of your ass.

Non sequitur but lets break it apart:
>Wilson's legacy was built on Pet Sounds
Ooops you forgot about Tony Asher again! Haha so silly!
>but in this matter, you're just pulling this argument out of your ass.
Like "jazz is bad because of the possibility of playing a wrong note whole wanking"?

In that case I can count any unfinished Zappa material I want! How about we choose Sinister Footwear.

Reminder that Brian needed Mike Love to write lyrics, and it was Love's lyrics which made the Beach Boys commercial enough to be famous in the first place.

Zappa didn't need shit.

discrediting brian based on the fact that someone wrote lyrics (the worst lyrics on the album btw) on two songs is like discrediting him for hiring session musicians

>discrediting brian based on the fact that someone wrote lyrics
He can't be "the greatest composer" if he can't do it himself, now can he?
>on two songs
What are you referring to here?
>>65336183
Freak Out isn't an opera though.
>>
>>65336573

This threads proves /mu/ has been infected by the /v/ mentality, people here are making arguments against Zappa when they clearly haven't listen to one single album, all you're doing is hating something you don't know.

Anyway Zappa is the best rock musician for sure.
