'I am the slime...' Frank Zappa.

Theland; maybe start with the album Hot Rats (Peaches in Regalia is very accessible). Some sweet music much later like Watermelons in Easter Hay. Avoid The Torture Never Stops. And perhaps best avoid Titties and Beer.

I got into Captain Beefheart first, then my cousin, who was a complete muso, recommended The Mothers of Invention to me, and I got into them as a result. I'm not a massive fanboy, but I enjoy his stuff and consider myself a casual fan.

Walob. OK.

[Atheist]

And perhaps decode, Gulliver?

Don't mess with Zappa,or it's a large slice of confinement loaf for you.

WALOB: What a load of Bow locks.

I think Gully is starting that he's not a fan.

I listened to a Captain Beefheart album once very early 70's, Troutmask Replica.

[Mozz71]

Yep, that's the classic. I'll be honest, I had a few chemicals running through my blood stream in my younger days. It loses a lot when you're not high :-D

Orange Claw Hammer is still a masterpiece.

[tonyav]

I never listened to another after that.

[Mozz71]

Lol He's an acquired taste for sure.

[tonyav]

LOL, I never acquired it I'm afraid.

[Mozz71]

I just re-viewed Stevie's Spanking live version. Steve clad in denim hot pants and leopard-skin top - straight from camp, pouting Spinal Tap era - Frank in Dervish pants with impassive face. You do need to be able to tap in time to appreciate this stuff.
