A big Zappa fan myself, especially his mid seventies period, One Size Fits All being my favourite album of his.

yknow, FZ has jazz and jazz/fusion moments ALL OVER his huge discography, but the albums that really focus on the jazz, i consider some of the best in the genre by any artist. For someone who didn't even like to TALK about jazz, he sure knew how to do it well and unique

the dude was a genius. both as composer and guitarist. but i just wish he would've stuck to instrumentals after the first few Mothers albums. the lyrics just kill so much of his music for me. either that, or only allow Captain Beefheart to sing for him.

One of my all time favorite artists for sure. One Size Fits All is my favorite album by Zappa. Everything I love about him squeezed into that little package. For this site I give the tip to The Grand Wazoo. Wonderful album, my favorite of his trilogy of early jazz rock/fusion albums.

I'm a pretty huge Zappa fanatic. I love his early Mothers recordings, I love his solo stuff in the 70's, and I even moderately enjoy some his silly 80's albums. All around genius IMO.

Love him, but I burnt myself out on his music years ago and am still trying to reclaim that magical time. These days, if I'm even in the mood, I can only listen to one album of his at a time before I have to move on.

Personally I don't really know what my favorite Zappa thing is, though it might be my first listen to Apostrophe, or when I got infected with Frank Zappa...

He has his moments.
My favourite Zappa thing is the 2 seconds of greasy double bass at the beginning of Little Umbrellas. |

One of the best Jazz/Rock artists IMO, but what's yours?
