Frank Zappa was a genius. A tag I don't bandy around that often. HOT RATS is a great album.

Thats it?

Get Freak Out and Hot Rats, those are the perfect albums for people just getting into Zappa. Other goodies are The Grand Wazoo, Apostrophe ('), Weasels Ripped My Flesh and Over-Nite Sensation.

Though theres so much good Zappa stuff, and a lot of its so different, its a big box of chocolates, you just have to try different albums to see what you like.

I listened to a GP tab of one of his songs, I think "Muffin Man" or something. Pretty nice ****.

I don't like these massive generalisations that the papers pick up on. It's a different genre every week.

Metal does have a reputation for getting people worked up but in many cases that's the nature of the music. And it's not the music that's making people violent; naturally violent people will be drawn to music that makes them feel more powerful and metal does this for a lot of people.

Ah, old people and their moans about us listening to metal...
