one of the best damn books ive ever read was 'the real frank zappa'..his autobiography..
definitely the funniest book i've ever read...the man was a genious..
even if you're not a huge fan of his music, it's fairly easy to become a huge fan of the man ...

"Consider for a moment any beauty in the name Ralph."-- Frank Zappa, on being asked by Joan Rivers why he gave his children such odd names

I love him too. Also love the names Ahmet, Dweezil, Moon Unit and Gita. I'm not that sure about the fourth name. Is that one right?

i dunno, i always thought captain beefheart was more talented, just not nearly as prolific.

yeah vena, captain beefheart is amazing. without Zappa or Beefheart with would be difficult for music like the one Beck does, to exist.

I've allways liked the mothers of invention, but felt a lot of Zappa's later stuff was a bit daft. And you had to wade though a lot of second rate stuff to find the gems...
Now Beefheart, he's the man!
And he could paint.The probelm was he signed contracts with any lable going at the same time... and could'nt understand when he ended being sued. That messed up his recording for most of the 70's.

John Zorn: everything form PainKiller , to Naked City, to Masada (ora any Tzadik project) is groundbreaking. Although not always 'easy listening'.
One of my favourite albums of all time:
