Winston Legthigh Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 What Zappa song would you pick? Just kidding (kinda - it has everything "Zappa" in it, including Roy Estrada) I would cheat and play the whole Yellow Snow suite:Don't eat the yellow snow ->Nanook rubs it ->St. Alphonso's pancake breakfast ->Father O'Blivion Which really has everything: Ruth, complex music, it's funny, it's dirty.

nalafej Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 My favorite thing they ever did live was Poor Places > Spiders. Even though it's just a slice of what makes them so damn good it's a mighty fine 15-20 minutes. Me too. Kicking TV has one of the best versions of the transition to my ears too.

froggie Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 it depends on the person's musical taste. find out what it is and pick the right songs. for example, if i didnt any wilco songs and someone played me Hell is chrome or Dash 7, i'd dismiss them right away. BUT, if someone played me Airline, Via chicago or Misunderstood, i'd be all ears Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I cringe whenever I see GG Allin's name and end up a little miffed now that the degenerate sack of shit is even in my thoughts for a short time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Inside of Outside Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Son Volt's Windfall is a good call. That is definitely a band that one song can pretty much sum up their sound and what they are about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
