I went for Overnite. It's got Ponty and the still relevant, I'm The Slime.

Hot Rats (vinyl-version, the 1987 remix is a bit exhausting).

Hot Rats was/is a hell of an album for 1969. ------------- "A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous. Got me?" |

Hot Rats is definately in the lead and I think I'm safe in saying is the winner.

Hot Rats.------------- When he rides, my fears subside. For darkness turns once more to light. Through the skies, his white horse flies. To find a land beyond the night. |

Waka Jawaka and The Grand Wazoo cannot be separated, modern big band jazz that has sunshine in it's soul..... Hot Rats for Peaches alone... Burnt Weeny Sandwich for its subversion... Apostrophe for the title track jam (there has to be a longer edit of this,please.... ) oh. Choose 1. Uncle Meat For Dog Breath. Never has something that is so vile sounded so beautiful. Sorry hound fans. Choosing one gives me trouble every day.... ;) |

Uncle Meat is, however, my favourite of the lot,....... |

Tom yay hello Zappa - Waka Jawaka , I dislike that track very much, it's a bad example too to convince anyone to like avant garde jazz, while it's not it's bah awful bah to me  sorry. xxx

^ I see where you're coming from ......... Loose jam-style isn't everyone's cup of tea. I do dig this sort of approach. Joe's Garage, though lyrically crass (it's one thing to think these things but to convey them out aloud........), has some wonderful complexities and really, the sense of Zappa humour should rub off on any passionate Prog lover........ |

Probably 'Hot Rats'......first one that I really got into on a musical level. Love his guitar work and compositions on that but he has several others that are excellent. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

Gave my vote to Absolutely Free because its great fun and I felt sorry for it. + even if its Zappa and 1967 its got that perfect 7 minute long Canterbury-tune which might be my favorite compostion of his. -------------

| It's amazing how Apostrophe is getting slimed here. A generally landmark album for its day. |
