if Zappa will be recognized as a genius in the same light as Stravinsky, Chopin, Bach etc.?
Naw...not even up there with Edgar Varese. The problem is Zappa was a pop music guy too and so that kills his rep in the classical music world. Maybe if he would have followed a more rigid academic path he would get more recognition in the classical music community.

You know I'm not sure, some of the layered orchestral stuff was pretty heady shite and will stand the test of time, his use of shifting time meters is what all the prog metal and djent bands are doing today and he was using it 35-40 yrs ago.
