Frank Zappa

Now this man really was a genius. Also had some strong opinions ie anti racist,anti corruption etc
But songs like Bobby Brown goes down were just works of brilliance.
Somebody must agree.

I second the motion. Bobby Brown is a work of pure genius. It's a great song for when I'm feeling frustrated.

No matter how bad things are, atleast you`re not Bobby Brown.

Yeah!The man was a true musical genius,with an excellent view on the realities of the american dream.
The chorus to"Broken hearts are for assholes" helps me get through many a bad day as well.

well i dont know a heck of a whole lot on zappa but im sure he's alright, my point is: doesnt anyone know of any artist that inspire a forward fight than just crying about how terrible everything is?? i think the whole gosh damn world sucks, how about that??

[celticsocialist]

Booga, you seem like a troubled young comrade. Whats up mucker?

[Michael]

Great musician and great guitar player.."Hot Rats"is my favourite album,but I think that every single piece of music he wrote was uniqe.
When Michael Jackson was on top of the world(Ha!)with "Thriller"(HA!HA!),Zappa was asked what's his opinion about the Michael Jackson phenomenon.Well,the answer was"Michael..who?"

"..and it's the tinseltown rebellion!"

How 'bout Playground Psychotics?! that was a great one. Or Apostrophe. Don't Eat That Yellow Snow and St. Alphonzo's Pancake Breakfast. :) When I was little, I thought that was the best record EVAR.
Did you know one of his bandmates, Warren Cucurrullo, plays guitar with Duran Duran now?

[Son of Scargill]

Yes I did.Their music definately improved with his arrival,but not enough to make me like them.Sorry!
