What Rock/Pop/Jazz-rock/Fusion/Prog/Experimental etc album are you listening to?

[teamsaint]

Frank Zappa Hot Rats. Reprise Records (at least that's what my original LP was on) 1969. I bought this LP in 1973.

I just really struggle with Zappa...yet Beefheart is great, especially Trout mask replica.
Odd. in at least 2 ways !

Very odd! How anyone can struggle with this album is beyond me!!!

P.S. Isn't 'odd' a wonderful word!?

Hard to say with Zappa - accessability-wise I'd say this or Apostrophe.

Frank Zappa Hot Rats. Reprise Records (at least that's what my original LP was on) 1969. I took this out on an almost permanent basis from my local library in 1973!

I never did re-buy it but might yet do so.

I will give it a go...especially as it is the tennis season !!(Zappa has the kind of reputation where you feel stupid and guilty for not liking him...so best to try again !)

Perhaps, like listening to Lou Reed, some "refreshment " helps things along !

How kind of you to let me off the hook, given that I gave you no option with Nonsuch and Skylarking!!

A bit like Sibelius.

Bear in mind that you get a bonus with the CD version.

In all honesty, I think I can claim never to have listened to a single BJH track. But an assistant director of music at school had played in a brass section on tour with them, and that, as you can imagine, made him very very cool.
Even if we were all into the Ramones at that particular time !(no room for a brass section with them !)

A bit like Sibelius.

Actually, not liking Sibelius is just really, really weird.

but at least Zappa is in English, so no excuse there !!
