Zappa was the second "out there" artist I ever listened to. My dad being such a big FNM fan had a copy of Mr. Bungle's debut that I regularly listened to growing up.

BTW, the new Zappa Dance Me This is actually pretty great.

I'll call it oldish.
Still great that you're willing to explore new stuff.
My dad thinks everything that doesn't follow the rules he knows and likes is simply wrong and sneers at it. But then again it's probably not about age, he just is that way.
My grandma is 78 and she is very open-minded when it comes to music.

**** yeah! I can totally dig that.
I know some of the musicians involved, but never heard of that particular band.
Especially like the bass.

Still doesn't make sense. Am I supposed to know what I listened to when I was born?

grindy

Screams and heavy breathing probably.
