Frank Zappa Appreciation Thread

I personally think the 200 motels soundtrack is ridiculously overlooked.

I also really like "Weasles Ripped My Flesh" personally.

Could send you links to bloody excellent FLAC uploads of some of his best if you want. I don't think there's really an "easy" way or perfect "place" to enter his discography, it's so diverse and large.

if you wanna have a thread on Zappa, aren't you like going to compartmentalise his music?

he straddled so many genres - pop, retro, showtunes, parodies, comedy music, psychedelia, jazz and just general instrumental rock
