NuMetal and hip-hop put its corpse in, and DJs pissed on it before reality TV, the new incarnation of MTV, and cult-of-personality celebrities took over and filled that grave with sand to seal its fate and, finally, the hoard of zombies that were their listeners put up the tombstone. Only one word is carved onto it: “Meh.”

It was ALWAYS a business, even when they signed "real" artists. They only did it because "real" artists had dedicated fan bases to sell to.

They turned the record industry into a fashion show, a choreographed dance show, it's all just a show, with focus on hairdos, makeup, and acting. production sound lights props and action. I don't need visuals to enjoy good music, Music creates it's own mental images without video, which makes it unique to the listener. The Beatles didn't need video to make people feel good, and enhance one's mood. If video was part of music the musician would have to create his music with a video in mind, but if what you are watching is lame, it can ruin the song in a sense, so to me the two do not mix in a perfect creative soup and ends up becoming artificial. Now good movies can be enhance with music but it's not the same thing as creating a song, Songs can make us think of a memory, make us happy or sad, or even might change our lives, it is music and music only, anything else is superficial and Hollywood.

There's something for everyone in Zappa's music. From beautiful songs to hard rock, to fiendishly complicated jazz rock and classical music, doo wop, r'n'b, blues, musique concrete, comedy rock etc. His catalogue is a treasure trove of wonderfulness. Personally I can't really stand a lot of the puerile scatological comedy rock stuff, but I could happily listen to stuff like The Black Page, Sinister Footwear, Dog Breath/uncle meat, the yellow shark album, and the early Mother's albums all day long.

That's what is obvious today when the merger is complete. I feel that Zappa would have had such poisonous things to say about the state of music, art and media today, he would have been a real threat. Being as outspoken and rebellious as he was. They're lucky he died. And that's a great loss to us. I'm convinced he never sold himself to the business the way basically everybody did. And he never sold himself to the very powerful counter-culture of which he was part of! He kept his sanity, his cool and his mind to the end.

If you think about it, MTV never really was about music, it was about the pretty/attractive people playing music, if you think about it all they removed was the music, which was such a small part of it to begin with that it almost didn't change anything. MTV was a business first and foremost, and if there was anybody on board in the beginning who actually cared about music, they likely still wouldn't have done anything to make it more about the music, because it is not a "safe" option for them. If they just played music, that doesn't ensure them complete capitalization of their demographic, and they want as much money as they can grab. It's so safe nowadays that they removed the only factor which had any possibility of alienating their viewers in the slightest, which ironically, was music.

I like Zappa a lot. But here's my take. People said the same thing about recorded music. Before recorded music, you made your living from one live gig to the next.Then recorded music came along and it became an industry. You made money from the endlessly repeatable performance that was edited and crafted. And you made more money by doing so. And then they added pictures and video and it became something else. But one thing is true, when it was performance to performance, when it was committed to plastic cylinders, and then to discs, and when they added moving pictures, a large percentage of what was outputted was crap. During the late classical period on to the romantic period of music, Tchaikovsky was putting out fairly banal and ear friendly brand of music. It was the disposable product of its time. It is only now that it carries some reverence beyond its actual worth artistically. And once the reproducible versions were made, there was great, good, and banal stuff as well. And decades later, video formats came along, and - again - there was worthy stuff and mass appeal stuff. The reality is, regardless of era and mode of transport, a large portion is crafted to appeal to the middle-masses and is mediocre, some is just bad, and there is a portion that is exceptional. Search out the exceptional regardless of era. It's there.

Does anyone actually believe that Motown records could have marketed "rap" back in 1963? Of course not..because the black music listeners of that time were far more concerned with quality of music.(ex - Sam Cook, Dianna Ross, Marvin Gaye etc..). However, with the MTV image machine going full tilt, quality takes a serious back seat to image..and image alone. Sad days.

I agree. MTV is full of it. Back in the day they were so "Family Friendly", how? Does anyone remember when MTV banned Andrew Dice Clay?

Compare Zappa with Gene Simmons and you will get the best explanation on what happened to the music industry.

@pianobanter Do you happen to know where this clip came from? From Frank's Milli Vanilli reference it's probably about 1989-1990 so maybe a radio interview...?

It was taken from a radio documentary on Zappa. I expect it was originally around that time yes.
