Everyone was giving it socks except Frank Black who was just a black hole of phoning it in, a bizarre sight to see the front person wishing they weren't there while everyone else is having loads of fun. Maybe it's just his stage persona though, IDK

What,..some lad giving out over a techno beat isnt your cup of tea?Sleaford Mods
Chicago
Steely Dan
Zappa
Basically all the 70s jazz-rock stuff that didn't have the decency to go full prog and was too self-conscious to try and do soul.
I've read entire books about albums i didn't like trying to understand WTF is wrong with people.How many posts about zappa are you likely to entertain before you block thumped?
Actually the Mothers of Invention moonlighted as a soul band, for example on Nolan Porters first album.Zappa

I only like about 20% of Zappa's stuff:I've gone off Zappa in my old age. Some of it is still class but the shitty humour does nothing for me
Frank Zappa wanted to use backup singers on the songs "I'm the Slime", "Dirty Love", "Zomby Woof", "Dinah-Moe Humm" and "Montana". His road manager suggested The Ikettes, and Ike & Tina Turner were contacted. Ike Turner insisted that Zappa pay the singers, including Tina Turner, no more than $25 per song.[1] However, an invoice shows that they were actually paid $25 per hour, and in total $187.50 each for 7 1/2 hours of service.[2] During the recording sessions at Bolic Sound, Tina brought Ike into the studio to hear the highly difficult middle section of "Montana" which had taken the Ikettes a few days to learn and master. Ike listened to the tape and responded "What is this shit?" before leaving the studio.[1] Ike later insisted that Zappa not credit the Ikettes on the released album.[1]
I went to this show. Can't believe I found it here after all these years. You have no idea how much a relief Frank Zappa was from the US Bicentennial being celebrated ad nauseum around the country and all over the media in 1976. The disco scene was going strong...Christ...For a young guy like me at the time, getting the sense that there were artists like Frank, who sneered at the establishment with irony and humor, was one of the things that kept me going and not falling into despair. Jack Kerouac helped a lot, too. Music, Art, and Literature have gotten me through some of the toughest times, and they're still doing it today. Thanks, Frank.
No doubt he had amazing skills and prolific output and productivity but zero of them are a requirement for good art.
