I've excluded live albums to make the list shorter, vote "Other" if one of them is your favourite. I may have forgotten one or two here and there, Frank's discography is tough to navigate through.

I think Frank was still in the zone from the run of his late 70s records on YAWYI.  That's my pick.

Post '70s Zappa? Best studio was Civilization Phaze III. I also have to give a shout out to the live albums from the 1988 tour.

Classical music isn't dead, it's more alive than it's ever been. It's just not on MTV.

L.S.O and Yellow Shark!

I wish "Mo's and Herb's Vacation" would be conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen or Simon Rattle in a new recording, it'd do wonders for Zappa's classical work! Thumbs Up

Yes. It's a hard choice, since I love Zappa's music, but "Civilization Phaze III" takes my vote.

From the list, You are what you is is We're only in it for the money phase II, which is a great thing!  Thing-Fish is superb as well... off the list, I would go along with Civilization (although the voices grate).

Civilization for me. From that list, I'd say Ship (incredible side2) and Jazz from Hell
