just a list of 6 zappa tunes that seem to be considered classics in his massive discography. Im gonna go with Eat that Question because jeez that intro but all of these are amazing in their own right. Torture is a close 2nd.

I suspect Inca Roads or Peaches will win this but I voted for Eat That Question.

I love the version of "Torture Never Stops" on live in NY. Love "Montana" too, always had a dream of being a dental floss tycoon.

All fantastic tunes from the great Frank Zappa. Inca Roads takes my vote, for very personal reasons, but all are great songs.

Tough call indeed. 

I'll go Peaches.

There are some good ones here, but Inca Roads has always been a favorite,...good complexity and great showcase for the band....and Frank would occasionally through in one of his monster solos.  It was a flexible song for concerts also.

"Brown Shoes Don't Make It" will always be my favorite Zappa tune.
Or "Let's Make The Water Turn Black."
But those were Mothers songs.

Jazz Zappa wasn't as clever as he thought he was...

"Inca Roads" got my vote here. Good song. He was still writing "songs" in 1969.

Had to vote for the magnificent Inca Roads. But Peaches, Watermelon, and Eat That Question are all fantastic as well. No weak songs on this list for sure.
