Zappa?


In an ongoing exploration of various musical styles, I've run across Frank Zappa's Grand Wazoo. It's been a long time since I listened to Zappa, and I found the Grand Wazoo to be entertaining. What recommendations do you have for Zappa's works? What should be avoided?

As an aside, what album contains the line "help, I'm a rock..."?

I must agree with many of the above.

My brother was a huge collector of Zappa in the 80's, and I bet to this day he still has original pressing LP's that have never been opened of all the first 20 LP's.

I LOVE Joe's Garage, and Sheilk Yer Bootie (SP) is another fave of the moder FZ.

So much of the original stuff is good, much is excellent. I'd love to be more specific, but having only listened to Zappa a few times in the last decade or so, I am a little far off to comment.

I can say that FZ at the Felt Forum in NYC on Halloween night of the shut up and play yer guitar was amazing!
