Everyone needs to listen to at least these three Zappa albums before they die,

 

1. Apostrophe

 

2. Overnite Sensation

 

3. One size fits all

 

And that's all I got to say about that.

I'd have to agree to that, but Absolutely Add a couple of Instrumental Masterpieces;

 

The Grand Wazoo ("Blessed Relief" must be one of Frank's finest pieces)

 

and

 

Studio Tan

I would have a hard time selecting just a few Frank Zappa albums as the best of his works. They are all brilliant in their own way.

 

Terri and I selected "Happy Together" for the theme song of our relationship taken from "The Mothers - Fillmore East June 1971."

 

That said, I have probably listened to "Over-Nite Sensation" and "Hot Rats" (With Captain Beefheart) albums the most number of times.
