  My dad made me listen to captain beefheart growing up, so I kind of have an aversion. But I discovered Zappa of my own accord. I'd place Zappa way up there in the genius category. As a composer he's up there with some of the best classical guys.
  He was also hilarious and a great social commentator.

  I thought it was fairly impossible to like Zappa and not like Beefheart. Kind of cut from the same cloth.

  • not at all, beefheart was a studied composer like zappa. Plus zappa's voice was actually quite good, he surrounded himself with great musicians too– BaskerviIle1/3

    himself with great musicians too, the best player for each instrument, same can't be said for beefheart– BaskerviIle2/3

    that first note should have said beefheart wasn't a a studied composer– BaskerviIle3/3
