Zappa's a great example, esp. as he was able to cause a stir at the outset and reach the pop market also. I guess I'm just a little disappointed that a lot of artists today aren't willing to risk more of their standing to do something more... risky, edgy, unexpected. I think that someone like Madonna pushes buttons more in terms of cultural mores than in terms of music as she goes from album to album so I don't think I'd count her here.
But you have to put Zappa back in the counterculture movement of the sixties. People did not buy Zappa just for the music. Patrice.
