If you observe both statements instead of just reading the bolded letters, note I said "the only musicians currently around" when talking about Boredoms. Beefheart hasn't made in album in 27 years. Also, note that Beefheart is continuously called "genius" by everyone, including John Peel; there are no arguments about his genius -- hence why I said "he's DESERVEDLY called a genius"... whereas something like the Boredoms being geniuses probably is questionable amongst the music community. Finally, Beefheart is one person (he wrote all the music), Boredoms are a band. I think I made them pretty clear in both statements (noting Beefheart is a genius musician by himself -- to take nothing away from the Magic Band! -- and Boredoms is a genius band). As a band, they might be genius; I dunno about separately. Beefheart, though, is the be-all/end-all of genius music of the past 30 years to me and a lot of people.

Either way, I know you try really hard to appear intelligent and "cool" and I'm proud of you for your efforts but this incident actually comes off as creepy... and you failed at appearing as anything except creepy, so...

dude you shouldn't have to defend your statements, both are genius. and i dont know what kinda nerd keeps track of posts from a year ago.

Why are so many of you entirely wrong?

ANYWAY. The correct answer was 'The Cramps'. Who's with me?

True. I guess I just get ridiculous when other people are being ridiculous.

Best parts of the only Zappa record I own (Hot Rats) are the Beefheart parts.

Beefheart. Haven't heard alot of Zappa. beefheart owns it

In fairness, I want to say that I'm a big Zappa fan, but of course there's stuff I'm not into. I can only handle so much Humor in Music.

gmku · 11.06.2008, 08:25 AM

I love Hot Rats. Everything else sounds too goofy, though. Zappa can be real jokey.

noisereductions · 11.06.2008, 08:30 AM

There's stuff I love (We're Only In It...) and there's stuff that is so silly I have a tough time getting into (Apostrophe).

I owned Joe's Garage in the late 70s because I thought it was "out there" and cool. I quickly came to hate and gave it away.

Personally I think Zappa's pretty amazing. But I also think that when yr dropping 4 albums a year, well they can't all be good. He was big into recording every idea he had. Y'know, throwing things in the water and seeing what would float and what would sink.
