Flea isn't even that good at bass. He is as good at playing bass as Dave Grohl is at playing guitar. Not bad and definitely proficient, but not remarkable. He's just the most widely know bass player due to RHCP's exposure and his inability to keep his fucking clothes on when performing.

Just because a band plays in odd meters does't mean it's souless, grooveless, or swingless. There are tons of swing time DT riffs, and Myung's grooves are so fucking tight when they need to be.

Zappa was a political clown
had no sense of melody
just wrote stupid shit with complicated time signatures that meant nothing
