21 years? Wow. Where did they go?

 

Ok I have to admit I have never really listened to Zappa,So I am open for suggestions on what to try..give me your opinion on what to listen to of his works..Thanks

There are others here far better versed than I in the works of Zappa but a personal favourite has always been 'Sheik Yerbouti'.

An interesting bit about the music industry is Joe's Garage Acts I, II and III. It's laugh out loud funny in parts.

 

For big band there's Hot Rats, The Grand Wazoo and Waka Jawaka.

 

Over-Nite Sensation and Apostrophe' are really good and feature an all star cast including Tina Turner and the Ikettes.

He was one of a kind and the suits just couldn't pidgeon hole him. He never "sold out" or change his style to accommodate the market, You either sought him out or you didn't, and he could live with that. He could have toured with a small group and use a synth, but he was one of the last who kept a horn section and multiple percussionist because he wanted that sound.

Hard to pick for sure, but Hot Rats and Apostrophe may be my two favorites...
