I too have an aversion to FZ.
Sometimes I think of his stuff as being like some kind of in-joke that i'm not in on...wherby everyone knows why it's funny except me.
Believe you me, I've heard plenty of his stuff, as I seem to be surrounded by friendly afficionados wherever I go. They look upon me in their inverted snobbery like I'm an idiot for not 'getting it'. I have the same problem with Beefheart at times.
Do does this mean that I'm not a lover of music? Does this mean I have no taste? No...it just means I don't like Zappa. No crime.
I don't like Meatloaf either but no-one castigates me for that.
So, sorry but "Oi, Frank, No!!"
