[QUOTE="LarryBird, post: 3981611, member: 76548"] Frank Zappa's pretentious lyrics are exhausting. His composing, however, was top of the class. He's one of the great composers of the 20th century. Homie doesn't get his due on that, because his lyrics were so trite, abrasive, and unworthy of the music. Satire in music is one thing, and it's great when it's done well, but it's truly terrible when it's done poorly, or when it's done been driven into the ground repeatedly, and that's what Zappa did. All of the above. He did some well, a lot more, poorly, and drove it into the ground all along the way, of a nearly 30 year career. He really should have taken a crack at serious lyrics, because he was an extremely intelligent guy with a lot to say, and it got lost in translation when he tried to deliver it strictly through humor and hurt his standing in the musical pantheon.
