Unlike Green Day (among many similar examples), who are stupid guys that sometimes make smart music, Zappa is a smart guy making stupid music, which critics cloak in terms like 'jazz improvisation, 'technically superb guitar-playing and top-notch drumming', 'odd and unexpected time signatures', and such-like, in a failed attempt to make it seem to be hi-falutinly worth their time. Please, gag me with a spoon. While some of his 60s stuff is marginally listenable, his oeuvre as a whole is a bunch of entirely unnecessary mental masturbation.simonshack wrote:*

[ADMIN: This was a Zappa fan upload of the song "Valley Girl with lyrics" which was removed by YouTube or the user and doesn't seem worth replacing as it's somewhat off topic anyway. - HP Dec. 21, 2017]
