usernote for you, well done for being online

I believe that a true appreciation of Zappa intails the enjoyment of both divergent sides of his music - both the humor and the excellent compisitional prowess, which didn't often gel perfectly but provided many more dimensions to his music. So basically I think both his humor and serious composition are great.

Hot Rats is a great album. Its the first FZ album i bought, his instrumental/compositional side is phenomonal but i do err slightly towards the satirical stuff and his work with that other genius Captain Beefheart.

My favourite album by far is Hot Rats. I prefer Frank's serious, instrumental side to his humorous side, even though I do find some of his parody/satire material enjoyable.

Some other personal favourites:

2. Studio Tan
3. The Grand Wazoo
4. One Size Fits All
5. Burnt Weeny Sandwich (the best original MOI album IMO)

Favourite FZ album: Thats tough, either sheik yerbouti or overnite sensation......or joes garage, or 200 motels. ah sod it any except jazz from hell or francesco zappa

I've been surprised to find some FZ fans on here - Gooey Toast was one, and I've recently converted Ryth into one too!

So what's your favourite FZ album?

Hu Cho Ji Koh! (I don't have an idea what the hell that means.)

thanks everyone, if i could work out how to leave user notes on other peoples profiles then i will do so

Dude, this was classic.

It's always good to see some people feeding back the staff their own often-repeated advice when they don't follow it themselves. I laughed with glee when I read that, seriously.

She was being pretty rude to Traffic in the first place too, and then she went on and on about it.
