From top to fucking bottom. No idea why he was so revered. Most of the time he couldn't even play guitar without staring at the neck.

there is some great stuff if you're willing to pick through the (80%+) trash, Sheik Yerbouti is a great listening album

Every album has 1-2 great songs on it but very few albums have no skips. You do have to dig around. Like Bongo Fury is one of the worst ever except Muffin Man is genius.

People should just make a Playlist and listen to the best stuff. If he had a Greatest Hits record it would do really well. A lot of people don't know what his best songs even are. But his best songs are works of absolute genius.

Apostrophe is another that's no skips but I consider it kids music.

Weasels Ripped My Flesh is also a complete work if you can accept the avant garde parts.

Hot Rats the A side is absolute peak genius. The B side is lesser known although not unpleasant. (Hot take: Willie the Pimp would have been better if the interminable electric violin solo was cut shorter)

Overnite Sensation is mostly digestible with a couple of high points.

He was propped up by one of the CIA's MK Ultra programs and was involved in a bunch of sex blackmail stuff on behalf of intelligence agencies

lmao 180 I didn't know this

after 1989, some of the Czech anti-communist resistance leaders like Vaclav Havel declared Zappa to have been one of their big heroes and built a statue of him somewhere in Prague

edit the statue is in Lithuania https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g274951-d290794-Reviews-or10-Frank_Zappa_Statue-Vilnius_Vilnius_County.html but the Czechs also did something like this to honor Zappa

He also was a yuge libtard who hated Ronald Reagan and white Christian America. He wrote a song praising nappy hair and going around knocking down lawn jockeys because they were racist. He was the type of 'libertarian' who would have gone fully woke if he hadn't died.
