This is bollocks. parody was only one thing he did. His music on the whole is extremely imaginative and creative. It is quite often very complex and sometimes experimental. Zappa's music has outlived the genres he was parodying. Anyway, I never really saw the humour in the parodies but in the lyrics.

'Experimental' is a misnomer forever. Cage was right in his dislike of the term. Bollocks is unfair. I will return to this argument if, ever, I can be arsed.
Sorry, there is no experiment in Zappa (a priori statement). Complexity, yes, and/ or perhaps. Complexity is no measure of goodness. Yngwie Malmsteen is a virtuoso guitarist - this is in no way removing the fact that his music is shit. I hear nothing but rubbish, psuedo-intellectual a-emotional bullshit from the Zappa camp. I, presumably, spout likewise at my controvert protagonist. Nonetheless, I claim no succour in my assailaints. In summary - Please less 'bollocks'. Please more intelligence. Danke.
