Texas King Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 OK, this clash would be interesting.Which album has a better music to your ears? I abstain from voting here. But keep in mind that Zappa's guitar on that album is very virtuoso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital Dad Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Hot Rats is a top 5 Zappa album. AFTK has a lot of filler. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

78jazz Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Hot Rats is a top 5 Zappa album. AFTK has a lot of filler. indeed. i never got the love for it as a complete album. i consider it a step back for Rush Mick I don't disagree that 2112 was a commercial breakthrough for them, but IMO the sound of Rush in the '70s started with AFTK (Yes, even Zeppelin was a bit progressive on Presence, but I have a hard time seeing them do a tune like Xanadu or Cygnus X-1).

TheAccountant Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 AFTK for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taurus Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I agree too dissimilar on any level to compare. AFTK is Rush's 5 studio albumHR is Zappa's 8th and 2nd as a solo artist HR is nearly all instrumental AFTK had a much bigger presence in my life, and I think defines for me the "Rush" sound, later perfected on HemispheresHot Rats first came into my life in the mid-eighties when I was first discovering Zappa. I think it was my 4th or 5th FZ record I bought and another "weird" turn in the amazing revelations of the FZ oeuvre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 (edited) Yeah too dissimilar. But AFTKs is one of my very top Rush albums, so it wins. Edited December 26, 2016 by EagleMoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
