pretty sure i've said it already but pour moi 60's Zappa>>>>the rest.
didn't he get pushed into the orchestra pit at the royal Albert Hall and eff up his vocal chords? not quite sure how your voice drops an octave from that kind of accident but apparently..

TBH there is no era of Zappa that I dislike but Hot Rats is so awesome. Tinseltown Rebellion is great though. His classical stuff is great too.

I was forced to delete all but three of my many Zappa albums yesterday. I was clearing all of my low bit-rate albums from my collection, and most of my Zappa albums were 192kbps or less

I am now going to re-obtain his complete discography in 320kbps glory! And I just heard Hot Rats for the first time yesterday. I'm infatuated with Zappa at the moment.

oh Frank Zappa, I admit that I downloaded his discography and after I deleted all of the orchestra stuff it still takes up 1.70 gigs on my ipod...
I like "Nanook Rubs It" & "Camarillo Brillo" the best out of all the albums.
has anyone heard him talking to congress about pornagraphy??

I think deleting Zappa's orchestral pieces is crazy. They are excessively good.

The man deserves the title of 'God' if only for Bobby Brown alone

Or, indeed, this;
