One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

Zappa sux big time. His music is too silly.
I probably wouldn't bother posting about something I didn't like. So the above line is a joke alright?

This is, of course, assuming that Ofur likes prog as it is. I've not seen him do much praising of it.

Well, apparently he like Frank Zappa. Or does he? I'm completely confused!

So what are you saying? Is this a bad thing or not? I personally love
that Zappa had a sense of humour and you've suggested that you prefer
it. Everybody knows that Zappa was often humourous so I just don't
understand what you were trying to say when you made this thread.

I was thinking of that very same album. Also, 90% of Hot Rats, Grand Wazoo and Waka/Jawaka.

Not to mention Jazz from Hell |
Indeed.
...That's why I didn't mention it!

Thats
an awfully stupid thing to say. I'm sure he was VERY capable of doing
serious music but it just wouldnt be him. Anyways if you want zappa
without the humour look into some of his more instrumental albums..
Grand Wazoo, Hot Rats
|
I don't want Zappa without the humor. |
That doesn't mean to say Zappa never wrote non-humourous music, does it? Your arguments are as garbled as ever, Ofur.

Zappa didn’t take himself very seriously
