Voted Riverside in the last poll where they were in, but Zappa must win this one.

I'm not into comedy albums.....Zappa had some great musicians helping him and I would vote for them. 

Riverside for me is simply great music, the last album really takes time and attention and does hit a homerun in a lot of areas. How they toned the music down is really nice, but yea ADHD is pretty amazing too.

They will lose sadly Cry, to a 70's guy.

This pretty much sums it up for me.  I love some of Zappa's stuff but love just about all of Riverside's music.

Zappa's output is very uneven for me, but such brilliance as he had definitely deserves my support.  Never been big on Riverside.

I was just thinking the same thing. You would have thought anyone facing Zappa would just get rolled over.
