His music was caught between two dimensions of reality and intellect! For those that didn't understand it, it was insanity and for those that did understand it, it was Genius. Long Live Zappa's Music

The aim of This Is Your Brain on Music was to make recent findings in neuroscience of music accessible to the educated layperson.[2] Characteristics and theoretical parameters of music are explained alongside scientific findings about how the brain interprets and processes these characteristics.[3] The neuroanatomy of musical expectation, emotion, listening and performance is discussed. This Is Your Brain on Music describes the components of music, such as timbre, rhythm, pitch, and harmony[4] and ties them to neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, cognitive psychology, and evolution,[4][5][6] while also making these topics accessible to nonexpert readers by avoiding the use of scientific jargon.[3] One particular focus of the book is on cognitive models of categorization and expectation, and how music exploits these cognitive processes.[4][5] The book challenges Steven Pinker's "auditory cheesecake" assertion that music was an incidental by-product of evolution, arguing instead that music served as an indicator of cognitive, emotional and physical health, and was evolutionarily advantageous as a force that led to social bonding and increased fitness, citing the arguments of Charles Darwin, Geoffrey Miller and others.[7] This Is Your Brain on Music was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Award in 2006-2007 for best in the Science and Engineering category, and a Quill Award for best debut author of 2006-2007. It was named one of the best books of the year by The Globe and Mail, The Independent and The Guardian.[8]A long list of prominent scientists and musicians have praised it, including Oliver Sacks, Francis Crick, Brian Greene, David Byrne, George Martin, Yoko Ono, Neil Peart, Victor Wooten, Pete Townshend and Keith Lockhart, and it has been adopted for course use in both science and literature classes at dozens of universities including MIT, Dartmouth College, UC Berkeley, Stanford, Kenyon College, the University of Wisconsin. Two documentary films were based on the book: The Musical Brain (2009) featuring Levitin as host, along with appearances by Sting, Michael Bublé, Feist, and former Fugees leader Wyclef Jean; and The Music Instinct (2009) with Levitin and Bobby McFerrin as co-hosts, with appearances by Yo Yo Ma, Jarvis Cocker, Daniel Barenboim, Oliver Sacks and others. In 2009, Harvard University announced This Is Your Brain on Music would be required reading in its Freshman Core Program in General Education.[9]In 2011-2012, the Physics Department at the California Institute of Technology adopted it as a textbook.

Fuck Rolling Stone. Derek Trucks, Jimmy Herring, John Mclaughlin (really any guitarist that worked with Miles Davis), Buckethead, Allan Holdsworth, Trey Anastasio, Duane Allman and Jerry Garcia all blow away any top 10 list they've ever done. And Zappa is a better composer and arguably more well rounded guitarist than all of them!

I think the problems are a.) He smiles too much (real genuine smiles of achievement and joy and not to sell a product) and b.) He tells the truth. If it was just one or the other it would be fine, they could market him as crazy (Jimi hendrix smiled but early on it was more of a psychedelic fantasy trip, Band of gypsys came around and he started talking about too much real shit, boom dead). Zappa (and more importantly his fans) is/are out of the control of all the people who decide what the top 10 anyone of anything is, and it pisses those people off to this day lol

Don't know if anybody noticed this about Zappa, but during his time, some of the best musicians in Jazz/Fusion played with him. Reads like a who's who of great musicians. Also, check out the drummers who got their start with him, or got on with their careers with him. Amazing lists of top musicians. I remember listening to this tune in 1976 at the then extant Palladium in Los Angles (yes, I know there are multiple Palladium Palladiums in other cities, most notably, New York - but the LA one burned down and they - sadly - didn't replace it). I swear he did a four string bend which I've never seen any other guitarist even attempt! Zappa was one of a kind - they started Black Napkins at midnight and played it for the next 20 minutes or so. Shredding before shredding was a thing - check out his sweep arpeggios in the beginning of this performance. Nobody did that before he did (except, perhaps, Mike Rutherford of Genesis - pretty sure Zappa was doing it first). So many musicians who don't claim him as an influence owe their livelihood to him - look in their tree of who influenced them, and somebody in that tree will harken back to Zappa. He influenced what started as Psychedelic Rock and became Prog Rock - Psychedelic Rock musicians heard him and tried to copy him, and ended up setting for Green Tambourine and Itchchoo Park (both great songs, but far short of what Zappa was doing before them). So many musicians owe their existence to him and don't even acknowledge him - but like I said, someone or some multiple ones they do acknowledge will hark back to Zappa as THEIR influence.

I found a paper from 6th grade elementary school where we had to write off a profile of yourself, not a real serious one, favorite color, favorite food, shit like that. Under favourite song I had written "I'm The Slime". This cracked me up, but I shouldn't have been surprised considering I played "Overnight Sensation" everyday two three times a day sometimes, so I knew the lyrics to pretty much all of it and could do air guitar to entire solas from back then to this day. Soon after I heard "Yellow Snow" on the radio (believe it or not). I knew it was him, so I promptly got "Apostrophe" and got at least the first side down pat. I must have been one cool sixth grader when I think about it. Anyway for obvious reasons I've been listening to him ever since and regardless how many times I hear the same songs, to this day I simply cannot get tired of them not in any way shape or form. Of course I was to buy many more albums of his along the way. Man, I miss his concerts and I miss him, bad.

Zappa's music REALLY is a gift that keeps on giving. 🕯Rest In Paradise, Frank🕯 Your unique and incredible gift continues to be appreciated.

I don't listen to too much Zappa these days (a bit burnt out), but damn he has soooo much stuff to dig into.

The hardest thing even for Americans is to understand the lyrics to the opposite music, the omnipresent satire in the lyrics/music serves to hold up a social mirror to ALL, with its incredible creativity coupled with the bizarre. It took me decades of research on the net to understand it as a German fan. This is not a Love Song.

The guitar solo builds slowly and just keeps getting better and better. Bozzio's drumming works the same way during Frank's solo. The drumming intensifies as Zappa's guitar soars. Amazing partnership. Jobson had an invisible (plexiglass) violin. Looked pretty cool.

I got to see Frank Zappa along with the Hot Rats.in San Diego 1970. He walked out on to the stage, the way only Frank Zappa can do. Made his way to the Mic and stood there for a few seconds, bye the way, he was dressed in a lime green tank top (BRIGHT) purple passion bell bottom hip huggers and red high top converse. Anyway he got to the mic and introduced himself and the Hot Rats he said they missed their practice time so Zappa said We're going to do a little practice for a few minutes. They went non-stop to the end. I think maybe 2 hours straight. I was amazed, lost in time and emotion. We all lost something very special when we lost Frank. A true Musical Genius, a Titan in the Industry. We all miss and love you and we'd all like to thank you for the unforgettable memories and your incomparable style. One all your own and never copied. Rest in peace wherever you are, and Don't You Eat That Yellow Snow.
