ozzy85 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Listened to One Size Fits All today... what a great album. His guitar work really hit its stride mid-'70's to early '80's. Yep. 71-81. The height of inventiveness (pun intended), tone and creativity. He did play some raging solos in 84 and some very plaintive melancholy stuff in '88 but those years are the absolute peak of his playing.Never heard all of Sleep Dirt until today... wow. :clap: The original, didn't know there was another version.

The remixed cd version had vocals overdubbed to 2 of its tracks and there are new drum tracks on a few of the songs. I like them both, especially the Ocean is the Ultimate Solution. completely epic track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbobby10 Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 I know some people saw him live on here, was he a good live performer? or only good in studio? I love his live albums, but was he good to see in concert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I feel like I need to listen to Zappa again, I can never tell if he is a genius or a foolPart of the problem is he released a ton of albums. Being prolific can be a negative. Too much stuff. The only Zappa albums I regularly revisit are Hot Rats and One Size Fits All. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Been listening to him today.

'he should be here' Disc 2 is one of my favorite examples of live Zappa and what his bands could do. His 81-82 ensemble was one of his most fearless and tightest ever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
