Jazz From Hell has great compositions, but the sound of the synclavier is at times slightly annoying.
Uncle Meat is one of Zappas best, but all those skits and interludes and little stories are something that always bothers me about Zappa, I like his music far more than his humour.

Fair points, I definitely agree on the humour aspect, it can detract when you actually just want to hear the music without distractions.
