Abstract classical meets freeform jazz, with some lengthy noodling thrown in.

Holy crap fuck no. That sounds like my worst nightmare. I'll pass.

Thanks to you and fat fleet for giving me some insight though.

yeah, I categorize Zappa as avant garde meets chaos.

Actually you might like Cruisin' With Ruben and the Jets...possibly the closest Comet Zappa's orbit comes to your planet.

Been cruising youtube for some Zappa. Checked most of the stuff yall mentioned. Um, no. It sounds like bad p0rn music.

More importantly though, Sun Ra died that same year after a longer career with more albums and arguably influencing a wider demographic.
His death was not nearly as publicized. Probably cuz the white man owns the media.



Sun Ra fucking rules.

...and GG Allin was that year too! What, no love for Suck My Ass It Smells??

 

[fat_fleet]

Mick Ronson, Dizzy Gillespie, Euronymous from Mayhem...

I feel like Zappa guys are often also Monty Python guys.

Abso-freakin'-lutely!

Still miss Mick. Ziggy played guitar...

Dizz, too.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Still miss Mick. Ziggy played guitar...

Hah, it's Milnoque's birthday, and in my head I just heard a rendition of 'All The Old Dudes'.

Wow, now I'm looking into that year and finding some disturbing shit indeed- Patrick Waite of Musical Youth???
But he was so... so... well, young... now who'll pass the dutchie on the left hand side?
