I had no real idea. My dad played me some experimental jazz rock tracks and told me why he didn't like Zappa when I was like 13.

I just listened to crusin with Ruben and the jets. This is great. Gosh my dad was literally always a boomer.

He was a musician who made a lot of different musics, fought censorship, didn't into drugs but wanted them to be legal, and named his kids outrageous names.

Zappa is a very talented musician and a funny guy.

Here is an example of him being a great guitarist. The song starts around the 50 second mark.

Avoid 200 Motels the film and the album are both messed up, some people will tell you to avoid Studio Tan.

My favorites are Overnight Sensation, Apostrophe, Bongo Fury, One Size Fit's All, Sheik Yerbouti, and Joe's Garage.

I already feel bad for waltzing into this thread and giving my unsolicited opinion BUT... I like humor. I like music. I can never reconcile the 2. Like, I will listen to a humorous song and say 'those lyrics are funny' but I can't bliss out to it. I can't bliss out to comedy on its own, either. I'm a cuck. Frank Zappa's humorousness always got in its own way for me with his songs, although I think he (and his kids!) is/are talented musicians.I also had to listen to the same Zappa song over and over again with my ride to high school until sophomore year. The lyrics made jokes about 'super vulva' or something. Love Maybe, Dad
