Except Zappa never tried to emulate Beefheart (like Vaughn did with Hendrix). Zappa did his own thing...

Well, another one is people who think Metallica is better than Slayer.

I've met a lot of professional musicians with terrible taste. If you count music teachers as professionals I think I've only met one who knew **** about music at all and had any taste.

So a person who likes Beefheart and Zappa, but prefers Zappa .. Has less understanding of music and should be embarassed for having a terrible taste?

Yes. That is what I have said and is what I believe.

on another note

faves by each

Beefheart- Clear Spot
Zappa- Freak Out

Other Zappa records I like are Apostrophe ('), and Frank Zappa Meets the Mothers of Prevention

The one where he samples a reverend quoting the Mentors to congress is fantastic!

Frank Zappa - Porn wars - YouTube

The fact is..Vaughan's style "was/is" more Technical when compared to the style of Hendrix. Does that make Vaughan a better artist than Hendrix? Or does it suggest that Hendrix is better than Vaughan, just because Vaughan covered Hendrix?

You can tell Vaughan's version of "Little Wing" as soon as you hear it because of the more Technical and Sequencing style applied. A much cleaner sound and dynamics (I might add) on the recording. But Hendix has the best dynamics as an artist. Hendrix was all "Feel". (he played through the guitar). But aquired a more Orthodox style than Vaughan's technical ability.
Do you mean "personal preference"?

I prefer Zappa and Metallica.

I'm not going to reply to any posts like that because people like this have already dug their own graves with anyone who has the slightest understanding.

As if being one of the most competent, creative and exciting figures in rock history isn't good enough, you seem to have managed to miss the question posed in the first post.

And your reply is that everyone who votes for Zappa knows has less understanding of music and should be embarassed. So, I have a friend who's a professional musician. He adores Beefheart, but not as much as he loves Zappa. I guess you feel that makes him a little less professional and that he should feel embarassed?

I had to vote Zappa although i love Captain Beefhart
As far as the debate between the musicianship of Zappa and Beefhart go I'd say they are both pretty equal although i find Zappa's music more enjoyable
