Yr Top 5 Zappa albums?

noisereductions · 01.02.2009, 11:45 AM

Just curious, cuz I have a giftcard and might try to grab some Zappa that I dn't have yet. Oh, and if you say something like "Zappa doesn't even have 5 good albums" or anything to denote the fact that you think Zappa sucks, I won't find it witty, just sort of predictable.

We're Only in it For the Money
Freak Out
Hot Rats
Overnite Sensation

That's only four, but I don't like anything else I've heard by him.

viewtiful_alan · 01.02.2009, 11:52 AM

In my top five only freak out really jumps out as my favorite, all the rest are almost equally good in their own ways.
I'm a huge zappa fan

if yo ulike that one, yo uwill definitely like _apostrophe'_

noisereductions · 01.02.2009, 12:42 PM

I've never been able to really get into Apostrophe. It was one of the first I got by him, and it's never really done much for me.

don't know too much of zappa's records, but this one in my favorite because of the cover:

noisereductions · 01.02.2009, 01:46 PM

SHIP ARRIVING is an excellent album. A lot of ppl seem to hate on it because it conatains FZ's big hit "Valley Girl". But seriously, I love that whole album. "No Not Now" is f'd up disco, the title track is... well I dnt even know what to say about it. Just it's a great record. One of my favorites by him.

viewtiful_alan · 01.02.2009, 01:49 PM

Yeah I love that one to, the title track alone is worth it. I don't think its necessarily one of his best though.
