I recently bought Subterranian Homesick Blues by Bob Dylan. It's my first Dylan record, and I like it a lot. <br>Usually, when I don't listen to Zappa, I listen to classical music... Many of the composers I like, are people I became aware of through Zappa. <br>My favourites right now are Anton Webern, Iannis Xenakis and Karlheinz Stockhausen. But I also like Berg, Bartok, Schönberg, Penderecki and others.<br>Sometimes I listen to jazz - Chet Baker and Miles Davis are great. And I like people with unusual voices, like Björk, Edith Piaf etc. <br>I have a couple of CD's with a Bulgarian choir... I know Zappa liked Bulgarian music, and I found these records at a ridiculously low price, bought them... and they're great.<br>And I like Beefheart, and Spike Jones, and Monty Python Sings... and a lot of other stuff. Rachmaninoff is good too.

Hello all,  I am new here, just wanted to find a place with other Frank Zappa fans, nice to meet yall.  Some of the things I listen to.<br>Well obviously Frank Zappa.<br><br>I like alot of different styles.  I like bluegrass and such artistis as Seldom Scene, New Grass Revival, Bela Fleck and The Flecktones, and of course Allison Krauss and Union Station.<br><br>I also really like jazz.  Thelonios Monk being my favorite.  I also enjoy John Scofield, and of course Herbie Hancock.<br><br>Big fan of classical.  Bach's my favorite. but I love classical guitar, so I have to include Andres Segovia, Andrew York, and of course Christopher Parkening.<br><br>

I love so many musics, authors, interprets...impossible to list my favourites. It is unjust to list the "top five" (amongst them Frank, sure) or something like that.<br><br>Music is fantastic, to me the best human activity.
