That Zappa was clever with his song titles, wasn't he?

He's either very polite or a complete liar

I like it!

Interesting title tho

Excellent music. Bullshit title.

Good

Well.... he has had weirded titles

Prelude To The Afternoon Of A Sexually Aroused Gas Mask is one

This shit is dope! .....Though I was expecting there to be actual lyrics to explain such a title.

so this is just an instrumental? An outrageous title like that,and no lyrics to go with it?!

I knew it was gonna be an instrumental from the title. Zappa always used wild titles for instrumentals.

Yeah, I'm learning that now. I've been getting into his stuff lately. I haven't made it to this album yet. I'm listening in chronological order. I heard the "Freak Out" album, & I am about to start on the "Absolutely Free" album soon

LOVE ZAPPA, the titles not so much ;D

I'm not keen on his sarcastic tone in interviews either, I mean I realise he was dealing with idiots who didn't know how to talk to him on his level, but please, ultimately, tobacco is NOT a vegetable

Yeah. HUGE letdown!

Listen to Freak Out, Absolutely Free, We're Only In It for the Money (which is my favorite because he mocks the hippies ) and Hot Rats in that order. You'd be blown away. Sheik Yerbouti was also one of his best albums.

And Sheik Yerbouti was consedered frank's somewhat ''mainstrem'' album...

Love Zappa's instrumentals (and the obscure titles that accompany them).

This is when he's at his best for me.

Would you really expect lyrics for these?...

...Watermelon In Easter Hay

...Black Napkins

...Don't You Ever Wash That Thing?

Basically. And it still wasn't mainstream friendly (which is funnier).

Our Duke of Org tA gave me a tutorial on Mr. Zappa when I recognized all of the name musicians he's worked with ( Goerge Duke, Jean Luc-Ponty and more ) , he was definitely OUT there. He has 8 billion too many albums to choose from, so I'll stick with what I have now till payday.

Excellent idea! You will be on an enjoyable musical journey. A long one...but enjoyable.
There are some shortcuts you can take down the road, but you're quite a ways from there yet.

Something that might help along the way...
