Hot Rats

Saw him a few times In the seventies at the Chicago Auditorium and once conducting the Chicago Civic Orchestra performing the Yellow Shark plus a rehearsal earlier.  My brother was a member in his teens (viola).

I've been a fan of  Zappa for decades. So many good albums but my personal favorites are "One Size Fits All" and "Just Another Band From LA"

Hey kingo

One size fits all was my first FZ album, played to death. My fav track was San Ber'dino. 

Frank is pure genius 

lucky to have seen him twice

so thankful that Dweezil plays his music live he is beyond incredible and at least as good if not even better guitar player (blasphemy i know i know) i must have seen him 7 or 8 times

 

i have 60+ Zappa on vinyl and Cd

 

personal fave

One Size Fits All

from there i could say i love so many others equally 

 

Hot Rats

Skeik Yerbouti

Zoot Allures

Over-Nite Sensation

Apostrophe

You Are What You Is

Waka/Jawaka

as for live albums

 

Roxy @ Elsewhere is a monumental release 

 

and the Can't Do That On Stage Anymore (series of 6 albums) are fantastic

 

Luv Luv Luv Frank...

 

 

@crimsoniter - I agree; I think Dweeze is better than his dad, but being taught by folks like Steve Vai and Joe Satriani (I think I've got that right), and his heritage, not surprising how good he is. And he doesn't use wah-wah as much as his dad. Particularly liked an arrangement of 'Black Napkins' with 2 baritone saxes as the lead instruments....
