Frank Zappa Appreciation Thread (albums, quote)

[blackspots]

burnt weeny sandwhich, hot rats and Waka/Jawaka are my faves.

[sweetleaf]

oh Frank Zappa, I admit that I downloaded his discography and after I deleted all of the orchestra stuff it still takes up 1.70 gigs on my ipod...
I like "Nanook Rubs It" & "Camarillo Brillo" the best out of all the albums.
has anyone heard him talking to congress about pornagraphy??

[Bulldog]

The man deserves the title of 'God' if only for Bobby Brown alone

Or, indeed, this;

YouTube - Frank Zappa - The Dangerous Kitchen

I think deleting Zappa's orchestral pieces is crazy. They are excessively good.

Better than both I'd say. Better than both put together? I wouldn't say so.

[Comus]

Zappa is the only man to have transcended decades and the mortal coil to release a lifes work that is beyond any measure.

I admit limited listening to Cage and Zappa but do know a fair bit of Zorns work.
I just am unable to consider that I could even compare them. They are all just so different.
