Zappa is the ****.. seriously, awesome man. His son is a great guitarist aswell.

i really disagree that it's considered one of his weaker albums. most lists of best album's i've seen have it on them as well as absolutely free, woiiftm, freak out, and the grand wazoo.

it's definitely his most respected jazz/rock album.

I adore Waka/Jawaka as well, and the recently released "Wazoo" from the tour of the same name is pretty astounding all around.

I haven't heard a lot of Zappa, but I do know that if your heart is broken you're an *******.

I've always been fond of his Uncle Meat album.

Zappa is ridiculously underrated, both as a guitarist and a songwriter. I mean...his music is UNBELIEVABLY difficult. So few bands or even composers in general have ever reached his level of composition because he's just ridiculous.

And not just that but charisma , a sense of humour and intelligence too.
That's what really make him stand out for me from all the other fret wankers.
