What about Zen Arcade?

I heard the album and it was alright but I thought this song was cool

Pull up a highlight for me

wow

Do you really have to ask

if exile was a soup it would be gumbo

youre trolling me putting elton above mothers

and that daydream nation placement

no

missing your despised Layla, jazz and progressive/kraut albums, Something/Anything, Stevie, Marvin, Metal Box, Trout Mask, English Settlement . and im assuming youre not including canonical live albums in this cuz thats a lot more too

kinda surprised to see the wall that high also tbh

I watched that on my lunch break today

Pop masterpiece to me but I feel ya. It’s not for everybody. Weirdly enough that’s my least favorite on the album. Still great but a bit repetitive.

Heaven Is A Secret and Gold my jams.

also the underrated psych double album Almendra II

Duane's on Layla I can't despise it

But yeah trying to rank the rest of those would be pointless for me.

The Wall is probably my mum's favorite album so it was my childhood better than dad's f***in prog

I cannot exaggerate how much I have been not enjoying my Freak Out revisits Trouble Every Day a few other good songs don't make up for the rest that make me want to self harm

Daydream Nation only has one or two highlights for me

Tbh that first Daydream Nation listen is still the most potent one I had

cant even appreciate the accidental psych of who are the brain police?

smh daydream nation a life altering masterpiece with some of the best guitars oat, hopefully youll get it eventually

I don't think it was accidental I think it was parody. Yeah it sounds cool but there's just something about the way Zappa lays across his lyrics and his melodies that is just ugly and annoying to me.
I don't feel the spirit of his art at all. Clever but too cynical and outright smartass.

should've got Beefheart to sing it all

can't even fathom that, took me so long to get into that album the first listen was just pointless noise at first it felt like

lyrics

Freak Out was recorded in March 1966, which psych do you think he was already parodying by then? eight miles high single wasnt even out yet. and you gotta admit the avant garde tracks are accidental psych, imagine showing them to some kid in 1966 tripping balls, he'd feel the psychedelia

i also hope youre realizing that FZ is not the lead singer on the album btw

cant wait to force some of his truly ugly and annoying stuff upon you as we reach his nadir in 1971 one of the rare examples of an artist releasing absolute garbage within their actual peak somehow. Bowie's Pin Ups might be a good comparison but I havent even heard that and I'm almost certain its not even that bad comparatively

The Sprawl took me places man apparently places you can only go once

just jumped on KTT1 for the hell of it and it looks like they completely renovated the site

the goat is like a match made in hell for Elric

annoying or afterthought lyrics with 0 imagery ❌
instrumental wank ❌
mean/pretentious personality ❌
proggy ❌

they still have :fck: and :datass: over there

what do you mean lyrics its a very wordy album

the underground hippie scene was well underway by '66 the Fugs and that type of thing

i didnt say the way he sang i said the way he lays them across doesn't matter who's singing. ugly melodies. intentionally probably but still.

i gave more of his albums a further marination than you think, made it passed Weasles Ripped My Flesh but not much. S*** is not for me. If you aren't gonna be offended by my reactions than by all means keep trying as we go through the years

do you remember :aka:
