IMO Zappa was a master composer and a brilliant guitarist. Some of the finest Jazz musicians eagerly played for Frank...not to mention his work with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the Los Angeles Symphony. These are my favorite Zappa albums:
Waka Jawaka
Grand Wazoo
The Yellow Shark (his last and most complex)
Weasels Ripped My Flesh
Chunga's Revenge
Hot Rats
Burnt Weeny Sandwich
Uncle Meat
Shut Up and Play Your Guitar
Jazz From Hell
