I'd definitely recommend starting with his album "Naked City." It's an absolute classic and a fantastic entry point to his unique style. The album captures his bold and fearless approach to music, giving you a taste of his versatility and innovation.

I listened to Hemophiliac by John Zorn on Youtube and cried out in pain. Apparently Mike patton does "vocals" on it. <.<

So yeah, I'm gonna look this thread to find something "good" by him and see what I think.

Hemophiliac is good, n00b.

I think Naked City is definately his best stuff. I've got a pretty sweet Fred Frith/John Zorn live album, quite brutal in places

I just downloaded some albums by Naked city, and I am just outright amazed. I'm loving this stuff. The only bad part about finding out about all of these amazing bands, is that people at my school irritate me even more. I swear, some day, when yet another person says "Dude, that drummer-guy from Slipknot is like the best drummer alive," I'm going to snap.

I can't wait to hear more of his Masada stuff though, from what I've seen and heard, I am really interested.

YouTube - Funny Games (2008) Intro - Intro to the 2008 version of Funny Games. I found it while searching around for some Naked city songs on youtube, it uses some music from Naked city in the movie. I'm thinking of seeing the movie, I remember seeing the trailers and it looked interesting, but just never got around to watching it. One of the funniest intros I've ever seen.

Ah, what a tangled web of musical taste we weave.

Remember, music does not have to have a nice, sweet melody and harmony. It does not need to have a set rhythm or structure to be good. I like Hemophiliac because it is thought provoking and intriguing. I prefer Hemophiliac over most mainstream pop songs.

That's right Greengenes (lovely Zappa song BTW).

I found this amazing Zorn clip on you-tube, sadly only 49 seconds long, with Milford Graves (astonishing free-jazz drummer for all time), Marc Ribot (king of the skronk guitar) and Lou Reed (tone freak)... I'm wishing for an album! There's a similar clip, 7 minutes but without Milford, that is also very good, and there's an album that's just Zorn and Reed plus sometimes Laurie Anderson

I only have Naked City which is pretty cool. I need to check out more, though I'm kind of afraid :C
