Was that quote from Zappa? (Stupid question, but still..) If so, it could have been worse. He could have been a total failure.

The worst thing is that FZ has been gone for so long - imagine how many albums he would have created in that 20+ years.

I am a fan of Zappa, but I don't think he's all that popular here. Discussions of the "big five", for instance, rarely include Zappa, aside from one or two posts. If you look at people's top tens, which come out in various threads he is rarely mentioned. I can only guess that he's not excluded because he's not classic symphonic Prog. But he fits PA's definition and is a stellar example of RIO/Avant.
