I implore you two, and anyone, to check him out. Be forewarned though, John Zorn is a madman! Not particularly for everyone, but a good thing to listen to with open ears. Never know, I mean, his music has had a profound impact on my tastes. Opened my mind by miles.

I demand for somebody else to acknowledge Masada as the finest project he has taken the lead with.

Then do a top 10 Masada. I already explained why there's no Masada on my list.

Can you quote yourself for me because I can't find where you mentioned them.

Notice no inclusion of Masada works. Which may seem odd because it's universally considered Zorn's masterpiece. Reason is, though, there's so much Masada it's hard to decide what's best. I've not listened enough to really root out what is the best Masada, and doing so could probably be a list of it's own(Which may be another thing for another day).

This is just a question, but... why is Torture Garden considered his best?

Torture Garden is probably the most original of Zorn's work. Has a very visceral feel that not many albums I've ever listened to can top. I mean, what sounded like that in 1989? Closest thing is it's source material Napalm Death which far lacks the eclecticism, and technical precision.

I personally think that sealing the gap between Jazz, Metal, and Punk that way so seamlessly while having it's own unique niche is an astounding accomplishment
