Let's see if you can get this question right. Who is the greatest theologian of our time who also happens to be one of the greatest musicians since Mozart?

Look, I know the guy was a genius. I mean his crowning achievment was a photo of him sitting on a toilet.
Phi Zappa Krappa, I mean who can fail to recognize such innovative genius ?

Whatever man, your loss.
This guy hated his audience. He wasn't kidding. He WAS in it only for the money. Now if he would reimburse those people their ticket money, well then, I might say he is worthy of your worship.
As it stands, I think you need a new Idol.

Who cares if he loved his audience or not? That's for pop peddlers. Frank Zappa was a real musician!! He loved music and he was great at it.

Have you heard of a guitar play named Steve Vai? Personally he's not to my taste, but he's one of the most technically skilled guitar players in history. Zappa had him in his band when Vai was growing up. You can't deny artistic integrity when his band has that calibre of musicianship.
Personally, I can't believe nobody said Neil YOung or Pearl Jam. Bob Dylan too, although most people probably associate him with folk even though he went electric 40 years ago. My myself I'm a man of jazz mostly, and i strongly dislike most of what's called "rock" but Pearl Jam and Neil are classic. I've seen them each twice live and they rock out hard!

I lampoon him because he dished it out to everybody else in spades.
If he were here today he'd understand that. You dish it out, you should be willing to take it when it comes your way.
He was creative and a little more knowledgeable than the average rock star.
I'll leave it there. And maybe I'll even forgive him for his digs at Jimi Hendrix - who could play circles around Zappa.
