Oh man, that is right up my street. Tortoise (still remember seeing their first ever London gig), Slint, Aerial M, yeah Don Cab and from the Scottish scene some Arab Strap, Ganger and Mogwai too.
Vai, who Zappa called his “little Italian virtuoso” is on 10 Zappa discs, not including live and collection discs. I do agree though that Satriani and Malmsteen have nothing to do with Zappa.
what do you disagree with? Vai as been touring with zappa for a relatively short period of time. more like 4-5 disc with him (excluding the ‘‘you cant do that on stage anymore’’ kind of cd which is just stuff that he puts that wasnt released before). The most mindblowing thing is that after 130+ albums there is still lots of music that we never heard of stored in ‘‘the vault’’. It’s just that crazy.
10 albums? pfft. There is much more to Frank Zappa than just when he was with Vai. I think Vai gets too much credits. He didnt do much, really

this is classical zappathy. I have found out that most people dont get FZ because it is really not accessible until you really want it and that it is just so huge that you cant point out anything.It is a universe. So in the mind of most people ‘‘he is just a weirdo that does fusion music that I dont like even if I havent listened tor know the name any song’’. When you get into his stuff you realise how awesome this guy is
lets get this thread back on track
Pat Metheny- Letter From home
this is gonna make you cry. and besides it is the only song that I choose to remember on my guitar.
ps: lets try to post only 1 link cause If you start to clusterfuck links no one is gonna go see them. Also try to add a little comment like I did on why did you choose this piece and this could become a nice little thread

Nobody asked, but I assume I fit in with the Zappa heads by offering my unsolicited opinion, of which I hold in the highest of esteem.
I just came across this group on one of my Pandora stations.
The Advantage
this group is awesome because it appears they only play 8-bit game tracks, and this track is awesome because Bubble Bobble used to me one of my favorite NES games.
