I've only got "Hot Rats" so far. I like it. Any recommendations for what to get next?

I would suggest "Absolutely Free," because I can't really think of any Zappa albums besides "Hot Rats" that are focused so entirely on jazz-rock and "Absolutely Free" sort of gives you a taste of all the musical genres Zappa was capable of exploring.

I currently only have the Apostrophe'/OverNite Sensation Double album, but today I may pick up Uncle Meat. Zappa's the man

This is really funny. Frank gets attacked by CNN.

Meh.

Frank Zappa > CNN.

I prefer FoxNews anyway, i mean sure, it may be shamelessly biased towards the right, but every news source is pretty damn biased nowadays... At least FoxNews is entertaining.

Thats right, i watch news for entertainment.
