You Are What You Isn't And you still haven't said why you don't like Broadway. If you just tell me then I'll get off your back (and it has to be a better answer than "because I said so" or anything to that effect).  -------------

Sorry, that doesn't work here. Not a childish answer, just one that explains what is soo bad about it. No pussyfooting this time, I mean it.  -------------

Okay Cyg, to quote the greatest review ever...
at this time Frank was with one of his most inconsistent bands ever. They didn't perform well together, the music didn't flow, and everything seemed very strained when compared the gelling that was achieved by The Mothers of Invention and The Petit Wazoo Band
"Planet of the Baritone Women" is a musical train wreck that is a headache waiting to happen, so just skip it. The headache continues into "Any Kind Of Pain", which is a horribly sappy love song!?!?! Frank, why? This is one of his worst songs ever. Ever! The three tracks that follow create a 10 minute filler period and then "Promiscuous" starts. Let me explain, it is a rap song about anal sex. What was Frank thinking here? put on "Murder By Numbers". Frank comes on and tells a story about how met a man named Mr. Sting in the elevator, and then Sting from the Police comes on and gives a speech about the devil and whatnot then bores everyone to sleep with the intensely repetitive "Murder By Numbers"
This is a truly horrific piece of music that combines free form jazz with rap and heavy metal riffs, love songs and dirty bedroom humor. There is only about 5 or 6 minutes of actual enjoyable music on the entire album Satisfied? ------------- Beauty will save the world.

Yes I am, it's much better than your previous responses. Unfortunately, I disagree with just about everything you say.

I'll vote Playground Psychotics this time. It's a fun listen, though far from essential. -------------  |

BTW: Here's some info about the song "Promiscuous" ... which you describe as a "rap song about anal sex": http://www.arf.ru/Notes/Broadway/promis.html - http://www.arf.ru/Notes/Broadway/promis.html It's actually about AIDS, and how some people on American television were dealing with the subject. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa/aoty-2024/vote" rel="nofollow - 2024 Release Poll Listened to:

Hey, when I say it makes my ears bleed I'm only speaking for myself.
It doesn't bother me that alot of people love this album, it just doesn't appeal to me, okay? ------------- Beauty will save the world.

A fair few of these aren't studio albums, but no matter. Only One Size Fits All really does it for me of the ones I've heard, but 200 Motels I found particularly self indulgent- I simply don't like Flo and Eddie's vocals. |

Yeah James, "Ahead of Their Time" is live. I wish I had spotted that before I posted the first round, but it survived so I guess it stays. If I had noticed, then I might have added some other live albums too. "Roxy & Elsewhere", "Just Another Band From L.A." and "Zappa In New York" are essential, in my opinion. ------------- Beauty will save the world.
