if you've only heard trout mask replica, i suggest you get
safe as milk and unconditionally guarenteed, the 2 albums
which precede it. theyre a great listen and even if you end
up not liking the styles, you can see how the sound
gradually changed leading up to TMR.

because his uncle used to come round and get drunk at
parties and ask everyone if they'd ever seen a beef heart.
when they replied no he would whip out his cock and squeeze
it till it went purple.... and so captain beefheart was born

to it.

Big Eyed Beans from Venus

Safe as Milk and SpotlightKid/Clear Spot are great records.
They are musically a little less radical than Trout Mask
Replica, and have a blues/soul kinda feel to them. Bat Chain
Puller and Doc at the Radarstation are great records too,
they are a little harsher soundwise.

Haven't heard much Zappa, i wasn't really impressed with the
songs i did hear.

For me, Freak Out!, Absolutely Free, and We Only Did it for
the Money are the cream of the crop. I like that kind of
demento pop. 200 Motels is pretty cool too.

freak out! for me too. "who are the brain police?" makes me
laugh hysterically. i can just imagine the record label's
reaction when they heard them recording this haha :)

my favourite zappa records are the grand wazoo, one size
fits all, and jazz from hell. all of them have the letter
"z" in the title, hooray for frank zappa!

the piss out of bob dylan on one of his records. cant
remember what tune it was but it was pretty funny

Willie The Pimp is my fav Beefheart/Zappa track, but I
havent really heard much of Beefheart's solo stuff, and what
I have heard I didnt like.

My fav Zappa:
Hot Rats,
Apostrophe/Overnight Sensation,
The Yellow Shark,
Weasels Ripped My Flesh,
Thing Fish

my favourite track of Beefheart is Low Yo Yo Stuff
I think the drummer is incredible
also in safe as milk, on the end the beat is fucked up a la
autechre, that's good
and the bassist who unscrews his strings had a good idea,
that sounds fat

<-- MEIN GOTT

best zappa:
hot rats
the grand wazoo
waka/jawaka
one size fits all
roxy & elsewhere

also "Frank zappa plays the music of Zappa: A memorial
tribute" might be a nice place to start, it has some nice
live versions of songs on it..

also you just gotta love the live version of zoot allures on
Does Humour belong in music?
