Truth hurts, eh?
Zappa was not particularly influential with respect to popular music. He hardly wrote a good actual
song (you know, those things you can sing along to??) in his whole career.
What he
was, was a great experimental composer, avant-garde oddball and a brilliant comedian. He was not a hugely influential pop musician and there is absolutely nothing that could ever go any way to proving that he was. So boo f'cking hoo.
And Freak Out! is an awful collection of songs for which no amount of cleverness can change the fact that it simply FAILS as pop. It is hilarious that somebody would give esteem to a record like Freak Out! over something miles superior like Revolver.
Beatles and Radiohead have put out more worthy, memorable material on single albums than Zappa did in 2 decades of discography.
