Okay. SO the deal is I have like abillion of his albums. Where do I start?

so far my favourites have been :
Jazz Form Hell
Shut Up And Play Yer Guitar

I am just listening to Meets The Mothers Of Prevention right now, and I must say it is blowing my mind with "Porn Wars." What a cool song.

Frank Zappa was just insanely talented and all over the place.


Give me your dirty love

hot rats is mindblowing and the grand wazoo isn't far behind. in terms of his comic satirical stuff i like sheik yerbouti the best.

There wa a 5GB torrent on kerrazy-torrents, and a 9GB one on Oink I think. I listened to Sheik Yerbouti earlier today, but didn't really give it too much attention. I'll try Hot Rats next.

if you like jazz even a little then hot rats will become one of your absolute favorite albums. it's arguably the greatest fusion album ever.

What other albums can I find nifty little sound collages like "Porn Wars"?

Picking a Zappa album to listen to is like playing russian roulette. I honestly never know what I am going to get.

I love Zappa. I only have three albums, but I love them all.

I have Shiek Yerbouti, Joes Garage, and Hot Rats

Has anyone seen Baby Snakes?
