Metal Reviews

My god. I hate artists with huge discographies... Where do i start with this guy?
I've heard Hot Rats is probably his best one.

- Hot Rats indeed, "easy" Zappa.
- Chunga's Revenge, full of surprises and quite entertaining.
- and finally Roxy & Elsewhere, a great live album.

I checked out Hot Rats and didn't get past the first two songs. It was what was recommended to me. I'll have try it again some time.

Frank Zappa is a very difficult musician to get into, but once you do, there's nothing else like him.

One Size Fits All
Hot Rats
Overnite Sensation
Apostrophe (')
Joes Garage
Zappa In New York

This was my first from him, a great listen. I'd avoid the very early stuff at first.

Have actually heard very little, really. Weasels Ripped My Flesh is good. One of those artists that I always mean to get into more, but never manage to.

I have to liste to Zappa... I'll add to my "listen some before buy" list.

I think Zappa had some great instrumental works (Hot Rats et al). Very complex. The songs with vocals tend to turn me off -- the whole dated, politico-shock-humor shtick is a distraction from the music.
