lewm,
All of his silly (but clever) lyrics aside, Frank Zappa was very creative and loved to move out in different directions and try different things. Try some early things like Freak Out, or them later like Overnight Sensation. A more instrumental album that is a real keeper is The Grand Wazoo. I listen to it frequently.
Frank was really smart about one thing from the beginning of his career, much like Ian Anderson and Ozzy Osbourne, he always surrounded himself with top talent, like Ruth Underwood, and always great drummers like Aynsley Dunbar and Ralph Humphrey.
