Joe's Garage is good if you enjoy heartwarming tales of people fucking washing machines and being raped by convicted music industry executives.
[QUOTE=TehKaboose;29696851]Hope so. Any other great obscure albums I should hear? I figure you would be the right person to ask :v:.
Oh, and [B]what are Zappas best albums[/B]?[/QUOTE]
Try a few Soft Machine albums, "Third" is a good place to start. Also the band "Anglagard".
The second point is difficult to answer... in fact I'm not even going to bother.
I'll never decide a favourite but his most confusing work is Lumpy Gravy. His most legendary would be "Hot Rats", "We're Only In It For The Money" and "Freak Out!"
Also there's that live album I mentioned a few pages back

Cool.
It's gonna take a while for me to get through his stuff. He's a musical genius, no doubt.

I've listened to a bit of Third, but it was just too obscure even for me :v:. I remember the first track having like 5 minutes of these wierd sounds. I've also listened to Hybris by Änglagård, but because I'm Finnish, the Swedish vocals make my ears bleed diarrhea. It's a shame really, since I loved the instrumental.
When I think about it, I can't really stand any vocals that aren't in English, which is pretty dumb since there is probaby a lot of great stuff that isn't in English. Maybe I should try to listen to some non-English stuff to try to get over it.
PFM is all I can say there. But even they did some English stuff. :smith:
Atoll and Magma are also good.

Harmonium - Si on avait besoin d'une cinquième saison
Itoiz - Itoiz
Änglagård - Epilog (it's all instrumental)
[QUOTE=TehKaboose;29696851]Oh, and what are Zappas best albums?[/QUOTE]
The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life, Apostrophe, Hot Rats, Bongo Fury, The Grand Wazoo, We're Only In It For The Money, Freak Out! and One Size Fits All.
Lump Gravy is trippy.
Probably end up being my favourite of his.

oh hey don't mind us we're just Rush acting like teenagers at the park
also I bought Moving Pictures, Roll The Bones, Test For Echo and Vapor Trails today, for £22.50 total :dance:
The thought that they hang out together and look like they enjoy eachother's company after being in a band together for about 40 years makes me all fuzzy :3:
Van der Graaf Generator fucking kills

True dat
Just wrote a final paper for a humanities class dissecting Tool's [I]Rosetta Stoned[/I].
I enjoy a challenge.
Can someone give me a complete list of which albums King Crimson, or more precisely Robert Fripp, has released outside the band, like the projeKcts?

I love progressive music, but have to say, anytime I hear a song in 6.5/8 or 13/8 it kinda makes me sick. (Coming from the guys writes in 5/4 then switches to 10/8 (Triple time, with beat be tied with left overs), then gets annoyed at drummer for messing up :P)

[QUOTE=zackiller25;29741247]6.5/8[/QUOTE]
YOU CANNOT HAVE THAT OK. IT DOESN'T EXIST IT IS AGAINST THE LAWS OF EVERYTHING.
It would be 13/16.
Guitarist of Henry Cow makes great music.

:pcgaming:
6.5/8 was the joke that Tool made about their song Schism, right?
Yeah, but fractional time signatures do exist. 4.5/4 is similar to 9/8 in that it lasts the same length of time, but is counted in 2s rather than 3s as it would be in 9/8
[QUOTE=Quq;29746269][url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_musical_works_in_unusual_time_signatures[/url][/QUOTE]
""The Dance of Eternity" by Dream Theater. This instrumental contains mixtures of faster and slower beat groupings in 8, 7, 6, 5, and 4. It goes through over 128 time signature changes in just over six minutes."
:psyduck:
(3/5)/4 is my favourite
By my reckoning it's the same as 3/64, but it must be counted in a different group

Too late for complex time signatures :byodood:
