Bongo Fury might be the best live album ever recorded.

He has waaay more than 24 albums. But yes, I'm also a Zappa head. The man was a bonafide musical wizard genius man, to put it simply. I have at least 30 of his albums and I love most of them, with one exception being Broadway the Hard Way, which I do not care for at all. But Hot Rats, The Grand Wazoo, We're Only in It for the Money, Uncle Meat, Over-nite Sensation, Apostrophe, You Are What You Is, and Lather are some of my absolute favorites.

I just started listening to him, and I'm blown away at his talent.

I believe that Frank would be very disappointed in our society today. It is more a pertinent point today than that question ever asked!!!!

I've got 38 of his albums that are not orchestral. I have 2 that are orchestral. <shrugs>

Love Zappa ...have around 18 of his releases . Everything from the quirky : Lumpy Gravy. . The off the wall rock albums : Joes Garage , Apostrophe etc. to weird jazz : Weasels Ripped My Flesh, The Grand Wazoo etc... great stuff. Zappa is the ****.

I've been constantly listening to Zappa since Roxy: The Movie came out and rekindled my love. My favourite phase of his is between 1969 and 1975.
