Slothman...you are what you is...
Frank wasn't ecletic..he by-passed eclectic and went straight to genius. I saw him in concert five times when I was a younger man. While I don't listen to him anywhere near as much as I used to, I didn't doubt then, & still don't doubt today that 200-300 years from now his music will still be around..just as Mozart, Bach...is today. I once dated (and married...and divorced...:-) a classical pianist who had never heard of Frank or his music...basically her entire "music world" consisted of only classical styles. She heard one of Frank's CDs I was playing way back when and said..."wow...this guy's music is amazing..."
In tune with this thread...if you want an "ecletic" spin on Frank try the Omnibus Wind Ensemble's "Music by Frank Zappa" CD on the Opus 3 label:
