Essential Zappa: what's missing from my collectio

I just do not get the Grand Wazoo, I recently bought it based on a Stereophile "To Die For rating" and just think it sounds 'noisy' after several listenings,

oh well, different strokes...

"Just Another Band From LA"

BONGO FURY & Zoot Allures ! if you like Zappa you must have them all ! I have around 70 Zappa cds

london symphany is my fav

Belief that there is one best FZ release requires defective playback equipment or more likely egregious user/listener error. A lot of his ideas mutate and resurface throughout the catalog. Uncle Meat, Lumpy Gravy and Weasels Ripped My Flesh lay down a fair chunk of early compositional foundation. Hot Rats, Waka Jawaka (Hot Rats II) and Grand Wazoo are also superb. The good poop doesn't stop here though. Overnight Sensation, Apostrophe, Roxy and Elswhere, One Size Fits All, Zoot Allures and the Joe's Garage stuff all have some amazing parts on em'. Trying to sum up Zappa's output is not a small task, but compositions like Twenty Small Cigars, Peaches en Regalia, The Black Page, Echidna's Arf, King Kong, Zoot Allures, Sofa, Easter in Watermelon Hay, The Little House I Used To Live In and Inca Roads will probably stick around for quite awhile.
