Entre_Perpetuo Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 Tull drenches themselves in bluesy feedback and Zappa lets his good friend Captain Beefheart sing about a 20 dollar bill. Tough choice for me.
Entre_Perpetuo Posted June 18, 2021 Author Posted June 18, 2021 Benefit by FAR! I thought you were the fusion guy!
goose Posted June 19, 2021 Posted June 19, 2021 Hot Rats is the better album, with Peaches en Regalia and the Gumbo Variations being standout tracks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFQKP3Ehucg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isa0GlhRZYY I prefer Tull over all, though. 2

blueschica Posted June 19, 2021 Posted June 19, 2021 I picked Hot Rats because I like that one particular album better. For artist, though, I picked Tull because I like them better overall. I know Frank Zappa was ground breaking but I'm not good at knowing why? I should look into it. I have always admired his stands for political and artistic freedom for artists.

Entre_Perpetuo Posted June 19, 2021 Author Posted June 19, 2021 I’m gonna go out on a limb and predict, given a few more Zappa records in my collection and some more time spent with the few I already have, I’m going to wind up a bigger Zappa fan than Tull fan. Thick As A Brick will always be astounding, and much of their other stuff will always have an inimitable Magic, but I think Zappa’s just gonna have more variety at the same (or better) quality as I explore him more. So I’m voting straight ticket Frank, as I likely would’ve done if he’d lived long enough to run for president like he sometimes joked about.
Entre_Perpetuo Posted June 19, 2021 Author Posted June 19, 2021 Where’s Mick? Certainly he’s a Zappa guy.

You have good taste (did I really say that :lol: :lol: in music) and if you like it that much there must be something to it. :) 1

And the remastered version with the singles and extra tracks make it even stronger. Tull are one of the few bands who can expand their classic albums with extra tracks that are just as good as the original album tracks! 3

Benefit is, as Treeduck says, a fine example of this.A bloody fine album full stop (or period for you Stateside chappies and chappesses). 2

Wait, I thought full stop was just a fun way of saying period. Is that the normal term for this thing "." across the pond?

I would have Aqualung and A Passion Play a bit higher, but then I need to revisit Songs From The Wood and Heavy Horses a few more times. Minstrel is so good! 1

Minstrel is so good!Well even though Aqualung and A Passion Play are 6th and 7th in my list those are really GOOD 6ths and 7ths, both those albums don't have any bad songs or bad sections. 1
custom55 Posted June 19, 2021 Posted June 19, 2021 Benefit is such a strong album. I was never a Zappa fan so Tull for the win. 3
Your_Lion Posted June 19, 2021 Posted June 19, 2021 This hurts... There are not many I'd vote for over Tull, and not many albums I'd vote for over Benefit...but Zappa, and Hot Rats in particular, is one of the few cases where I would 1
