He is cute.
Austin Green
he's dead
Jose Parker
he has a few good albums, but the vast majority are quite weak. also the few good albums he has are certainly not enough to justify his smug attitude as though he is god's gift to humanity
Nolan Gray
Hot Rats is the DSOTM of jazz fusion
Ayden Cook
He really is a smug faggot who is only liked by other smug faggots.

His early work was the best. Freak Out, Absolutely Free, WOIIFTM, Uncle Meat and Weasels etc are absolutely dripping with ambition
I'm not in love with a lot of his extended instrumental solo albums, stuff like Waka Jawaka has its moments but a lot of it is middle of the road jam stuff. Really I think the only album matching his earlier albums is Joe's Garage, a perfect blend of the poppy inane songs and interesting experimental compositions he was doing at the time
Andrew Morgan
Made some great music but is extremely overrated and inconsistent
His fans (most of which know nothing about music outside of zappa, classic rock and beefheart) are absolute cancer
Michael King
Died too soon. Sorely missed.

Burnt Weeny Sandwich is Ummagumma if we are making conparisons.
Dominic Miller
ummagumma is clearly uncle meat. how could you screw up such an easy comparison you australopithefuck
Carter Long
Still I don't understand why people think ' is good
It's pretty bad
Aaron Miller
>t. smug faggot
Christian Sanchez
reddit the musician
didn't die soon enough
Jeremiah Brooks
95% of his music just bores me.
Christian Adams
sporkcore
that's not a bad thing, sporkcore is a pretty patrician genre
Gavin Walker
Now that the dust has settled, what did he man by this? Who was in the wrong?
Tyler Mitchell
a lot of his music sounds the same. he does the vocals with that black guy doing backup vocals. he tried to make his music as experimental as possible, but it still ends up sounding similar. You can hear the "zappa formula" pretty quickly.
Jordan Moore
That only applies to his 80s albums
Wyatt Nelson
he invented or at least pioneered the form of the modern music video
Jonathan Young

Cameron Gutierrez
Complete utterly garbage
Logan Gonzalez
I think he a very great and unique person, very brilliant and he made a lot of good music (not all of it but a lot of it)
i know most people in this thread are contrarian shitposters but that's alright, zappa's life and work speak for themselves.
Kevin Anderson
the more time you spend with zappa the more you'll like em. if you like joe's garage its only a matter of time till you like all of his later 70s stuff. id recommend checking out sheik, lather, and sleep dirt. lather is a 4 album masterpiece that was supposed to be released during the mid-late 70s but wasnt released till after he died. sheik is a lot like joe's garage, though i prefer the second half of that album, the more i hear it the more i like it though.

im just gonna leave this hear. this blew my mind the night i heard it. i've never heard an epic that grooves like this one. only zappa was daring enough to genre mix like he did.
Logan Reyes
whoops. meant to post regyptian strut.

I only listened to Freak Out and Lumpy Gravy, what should I listen now?
Aaron Smith
Absolutely Free
Ayden Robinson
Hot Rats
We're Only In It For The Money
Uncle Meat
Weasels Ripped My Flesh

I've listened to Sheik Yerbouti quite a bit and I really like it- it's a nice collection of pop songs of a variety of genres but it's no masterpiece and not up there with his earlier works which combines silly ditties with a grand concept.
Lucas Murphy
2/10 None of these are Joe's Garage
Sebastian Powell
I like him as a person and some of his music is really good.
Hes also an INSANELY good guitarist
My top 3 are Joe's Garage, One Size Fits All, and The Grand Wazoo
Leo Butler
the only 60s album i like is freak out
Hudson Rodriguez
John Frusciante was offered a spot in Zappa's band but he didn't take it because Frank had a strict no drugs policy and John wanted to live the rock star lifestyle so he ended up joining RHCP
I wonder how his career would have gone had he opted to join up with Zappa and stayed away from heroin
Anthony Long
Joe's Garage lasts THREE HOURS
Nathan Wood
