Zappa?


In an ongoing exploration of various musical styles, I've run across Frank Zappa's Grand Wazoo. It's been a long time since I listened to Zappa, and I found the Grand Wazoo to be entertaining. What recommendations do you have for Zappa's works? What should be avoided?

As an aside, what album contains the line "help, I'm a rock..."?

I would explore, in no particular order:
Hot Rats, Mothers live at the Fillmore (w/Flo & Eddie), Over Night Sensation and Apostrophe.
There are plenty of other great FZ records especially the older Mothers efforts; Freak Out, Absolutely Free , We're Only In it For The Money, etc.
I sorta lost interest after Joe's Garage, But lots of people love the Shut up and Play your Guitar era stuff...

Good luck, Just have fun, If you get Frank, there is nothing better!

"Help I'm a rock" I believe is on Absolutely Free But I'd have to go back and check to be certain.

just remember "we are the people that your mother warned you about"
