Help me! If I can only order one Zappa album, which one should it be? I will say that I prefer emotional instrumental music to the Zappa verbal humor.

Most of Zeuhl, RIO/Avant, and the Italian Prog genres. Not too much interest in those genres at the point. As an aside when I see the name Henry Cow, I think of Harry Carry and his "Holy Cow!!!". Not sure why? Must be a combo of the sports addiction with the prog addiction.

There are still too many bands in the old Art Rock, Neo Prog, and Prog Metal categories that I haven't given a listen to yet. I don't think any of the big ones however. I have heard most of those. However, just about anything on Erik Neuteboom's list would probably qualify as unexplored at this point.

I'll sort out that Mars Volta thing as soon as I get the opportunity.

I get easily sidetracked by so much other music that seems to be calling for my attention these days!

Funny, cause it's how RIO got started as well, with Henry Cow....

Interesting!

If I was born at the time of the 1st RIO festival, I suppose it wouldn't be that odd...

But I was born 14 years later!

It is a mystery...

Have you listened to much RIO/Avant? If not, it might not be a bad thing that Henry Cow are on your list

. They're a handful to take in.

I don't listen to much RIO/Avant, but I remember being criticized by my STC bandmates for not having heard any. As far as that genre goes, I like Zappa and SGM.

Well, if you like the more avant-jazz Zappa stuff, you should be good to give the Cow a try.

Really? I find that somewhat impressive. I had to listen to a few transitional bands before I really "got" their music.
