    I think any serious comparison between Frank and Miley is just silly. Even comparing who they choose/chose to work with.....we'd be using the word "work" differently in both scenarios. I think Frank would roll over in his grave if he knew what passed for "work" in the music business these days.

    Frank knew what was up in the plastic world of pop music, he even wrote odes to hairband rock gods and their fanatical fans then he made Terry Bozzio sing it!
    Just replace Punky Meadows with Miley cirrus and Terry Bozzio with Elton john for this one...:-D


    Terry Bozzio, that cute little drummer... Terry recently felt in love with a publicity photo of a boy named Punky Meadows, lead guitar player from a group called ANGEL... In the photo, Punky was seen with a beautiful shiny hairdo in a semi-profile which emphasized the pootched out succulence of his insolent pouting rictus... The sight of which drove the helpless drummer mad with desire!

    Dang there's some amazing music there, it's been a long time since I thought of Punkys whips.

    I wrote a letter to Metallica once.
    I got a response a couple of weeks later, a flyer asking me to pay money to join the fan club. I didn't.

    For you, I would say in Zappas catalog would find some stuff you would hate, some you wouldn't care for, some you would find offense, some that was ok, some that's pretty cool, and finally some stuff you might find ecstatically beautiful.

    Here's one I think you might like...this is the pre-finale instrumental piece from his award winning opera "Joes garage" you've seen posted so many times in this thread.
    Here, as described by the central scrutinizer, Joe dreams his last imaginary guitar solo

    ... absolutely soaring....

    Or Elton thinks Miley Cyrus is Justin Beiber and vice versa.

    Pffft, as if you didnt sing along to....what was that hit she had a couple years back that was all over the radio like forever...you came at me like a wreck-ing ball..I dont remember the woooords at all...

    You so did sing along

    Miley is great, I dont see what the difference is, Elton didnt write most of his hits and Zappa who the hell is this guy?

    You're musically bereft if you don't know Zappa. Don't worry, it's not your fault. Franks music had been virtually black-balled from mainstream media since before you were born.


    Here's a piece Frank was commissioned to write for the national geographic society's documentary "Outrage at Valdez" after the exxon Valdez oil tanker ran aground, spilling upwards of 38 million gallons of crude into prince William sound in 1989. The spill is considered to be one of the most devastating human-caused environmental disasters.

    Purely electronic score BTW, realized on the Sinclavier. (P.S.This kind of electronic music would scare Aphex twin and the like, shitless!)

    Frank Zappa is so far out of Elton or Mileys league, It's stupid to even discuss.

    Here's the piece as it was used in the documentary, realized by the German acoustic ensemble, "Ensemble Moderne"
    Now this piece lives! Breathtakingly poignant music from Frank Zappa near the end of his life.

    Do you personally know Elton John to make an opinion on whether he is a twat or not? I see the bandwagon too, and too much Fox News on your TV.

    I love his music, no idea if he is a twat and I don't care.

    But I hate hive mind with a passion.
