Wait, Morrissey too?? The Smiths were legend, Viva Hate wasn't even that bad. You know Vini Reilly did uncredited guitar all over that, right?
You guys are killing me... This is the big one, Elizabeth! I'm coming to join ya!!!
I can't bear The Smiths or anything Morrissey has ever sang. He should be publicly beheaded for crimes against music. Just my opinion of course. I'd rather listen to Zappa.
Because we have similar taste on a lot of music I'm tempted to say you may have missed some of his gems...but then again maybe not.. Different strokes for different folks ..Zappa would not be insulted and would probably respect the fact that you "don't get him"..that just because "everybody" thinks he's great isn't going to influence your honest opinion. He hated commercialism of music and the way the masses were so easily maneuvered by the media money machine.
Yeah, from what I've read about him he'd probably encourage me to dislike his music. I find his career and what he achieved interesting and he deserves the praise. Sadly I just don't feel it.
