.... Music isn't sensible. ...

I beg to differ. The "rules" of western tonal music adhere to strict rules that are based in physics. Believe me, I have a Bachelor degree in music with a focus on 20th century music. 

Quite apart from that, it seems to me a paradox that the U.S.A. staged an heroic revolution to release themselves from the yoke of british imperialism, but didn't go the whole 9.144 metres and adopt the much more logical and sensible system that was proposed in France about a century earlier, and finalised about the same time as the revolution.  

 

PS: Australia is still nominally a "British Colony", but the sensible system of measurement was adopted about the end of the '60s, when I was about 7 years old.

Haha - yeah, "music is just A-B-C-D-E-F-G" as some smartaxx musician once told me.

But, like, NEVER in that order. I thought neurophysiology was complicated.

Until I picked up string instruments.

I like how these guys follow “The "rules" of western tonal music”

Well, you may find it hard to believe, but Zappa was always radical, adventurous, experimental, brilliant, but strictly tonal. 

If you want atonal, try this. And that is not his most radical piece.  :

There are also things like this

And Schönberg was a pioneer, but he was not alone.

I don't read music, but I see a lot "whip-chow" . . .

Why not? If you can deal with Guzzi electrics, reading music should be easy as pie.

These pieces prove my point. They're still called 'music'.

Absolutely Horrid.

Google does not agree that Zappa was strictly tonal:

• "Burnt Weeny Sandwich": 

  The album includes atonal pieces like "Igor's Boogie" and "Kung Fu," which is a 1960s example of his use of atonal music. “

   

  some of his orchestral compositions also include atonality

   

  my favorite Atonalist has to be Sun Ra… saw him with the Arkestra at Norma Jeans night club in the early 80’s.. best music I’ve ever witnessed live.
