Frank Zappa's solo album's Billboard's ranking was 10th. It's Zappa's discography's highest chartingm and it's not done with Frank's usual band, called, I believe, Invention's Mothers. The album's name's Apostrophe (').
I love Zappa and Apostrophe was one of my first LPs ever but Peace & Love is as grand as its title! A spiritual experience indeed... 👏 _________________ "And can’t you see you’re in on it?
You were born though you need not
And is that not some cause
For worship, being born among these trees?"
Peace & Love is a religious experience. Literally.
Apostrophe is an assault on my comic sensibility. I don't find prog nearly as mastubatory as an album like this. The playing and production is top notch, but it is soooo goofy & juvenile that I just find it mostly annoying. I'd say that comedy and music just don't work 90% of the time with Ween & They Might Be Giants being the obvious exceptions to the rule.
Dadawah's album left me feeling awkward, like I'd stumbled on a religious service of an unfamiliar religion. You want to be respectful, but you want to be careful not to drink the kool-aid.
Zappa's albums continue to impress me. He's the funniest rock star of all time, unless you consider Weird Al to be a rock star, in which case he's the second funniest.
