Heavy Metal Causes Violence

Thats it?

Get Freak Out and Hot Rats, those are the perfect albums for people just getting into Zappa. Other goodies are The Grand Wazoo, Apostrophe ('), Weasels Ripped My Flesh and Over-Nite Sensation.

Though theres so much good Zappa stuff, and a lot of its so different, its a big box of chocolates, you just have to try different albums to see what you like.
 
Ok. I didn't mean you had a problem judging genres objectively - I was referring to the people whose reasons for not thinking Geddy Lee was a great musician were 'Rush is gay' and 'I don't like Rush'. And also the Neil Young comments.

Headbanging is fine IMO, but I hate moshing/lirab flailing at concerts - it destroys the show for people who want to enjoy the music.
 
I don't like these massive generalisations that the papers pick up on. It's a different genre every week.

Metal does have a reputation for getting people worked up but in many cases that's the nature of the music. And it's not the music that's making people violent; naturally violent people will be drawn to music that makes them feel more powerful and metal does this for a lot of people.

Ah, old people and their moans about us listening to metal...
