Then just listen to when Beefheart plays with Zappa! Problem solved.

one of my favorite guitar solos ever

ok

which albums?

:afro:

hot rats, metal man has hornet's wings, bongo fury

thanks, Ill check them out...

I've only really PURCHASED 'Waka/Jawaka', but I have around seven on my computer.

'Hot Plate Heaven At The Green Hotel' is a great song. Also 'The Mudshark Interview' is hilarious. As you can tell probably I have 'Cheap Thrills' & also 'Hot Rats' which I was blown away by the first time i heard it.

My favourite Zappa album is Joe's Garage. I find there's not much to not like about it .. At number two for me is Apostrophe (').

If you don't know them, consider them warmly recommended!

It is always a close call but this one nabs the title of most cherished Zappa album for me.
Contender for best album of 1968 imo, although it supersedes all of the competition by making them look intellectually bankrupt hedonists. Could talk for hours about how much I love this album... the home-recorded sound, the mixture of (ridiculously catchy) pop satire with tape splicing and general experimentation, it is just one big, effortless send-up of Sgt. Pepper's and it's brood basically...

I found a label compilation somewhere and every song was a different interpretation of this song, forgot where i saw it though :p::


'Golly, do I ever have a lotta soul!'

Over-Nite Sensation was the one that I was first exposed to, and it still might be my favorite. "Montana" almost brought me to tears the first time I heard it.
After that I saw a couple of movies that he made: Does Humor Belong in Music and The Dub Room Special. I have to say, I'm most favorable of his work from the seventies, particularly with Terry Bozzio. They seemed to have an indelible chemistry.
Whenever I'm at a bar that has a Touchtunes Jukebox, I like to put on "The Muffin Man" just to fuck with everyone.
