Love Zappa, but in the context of quality audio, which albums are sonically best?

My aunt  had Frank and the mothers of invention 

live at the Fillmore , it was shocking and Waay to progressive for it’s time 

I guess you can say he was not part of cancel culture ! 👍

The GOAT in my book. R.I.P.

FZ’s music had a profound impact on my life and the way I interpret music.

Too obvious for me (kinda like Bill Maher). I prefer the humour of The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, Loudon Wainwright III, Randy Newman, and Dan Hicks. Musically? He’s trying too hard to be clever; too self-conscious for me. I briefly liked the We’re Only In It For The Money album. It didn’t wear well.

The problem with calling Frank Zappa a genius is: what term is then left for J.S. Bach? Pat Metheny: "Compared to Bach we’re all idiots".
