Poll question: Frank Zappa's first 10 albums. YOU pick the greatest...RZZZZZ! |
|
A purposely narrow poll...these are the first ten albums released by Zappa, with and without The Mothers. Maybe someone will do a "part two" later. :toast:

6. Tough choices since there are so many good early Zappa albums |
|
Of course my all time favorite is "Apostrophe" since it is the very first Zappa album I ever heard (in college).

The Dog Breath Variations.
Nine Types of Industrial Pollution.
A Pound for a Brown on the Bus.
King Kong (as played by three deranged Good Humor trucks...)
Dang, what a good album!
But yeah, they're all pretty cosmic from this time period.

10. I have a big soft spot for Weasels |

Edited on Mon Jun-06-05 07:29 PM by Rabrrrrrr
And not just because it was the first Zappa album I owned, but because "My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama" is simply too precious, and Dwarf Nebula and Sexually Aroused Gas Mask positively blew me away. It was the kind of music I had envisioned (and I was but 16 at the time) in my head, and that I wished someone would do, but, so far as I knew, no one was doing. Then I discovered Weasels, and I knew the world was gonna be okay because the music I wanted to hear was being made by at least one person, and there were enough other people interested in it that albums could be made.
I've been addicted to Zappa ever since, even though he totally squashed my junior high dream of being the first person to be a rock and roller AND compose classical music. Damn you, Frank, for doing it first! But far, far, far more, I thank you, and wish to hell you were still with us. 100 CDs was not enough!!! Make more, Frank!!

11. What's there to live for? Who needs the peace corps? |

Think I'll just DROP OUT I'll go to Frisco Buy a wig & sleep On Owsley's floor
Walked past the wig store Danced at the Fillmore I'm completely stoned I'm hippy & I'm trippy I'm a gypsy on my own I'll stay a week & get the crabs & Take a bus back home I'm really just a phony But forgive me 'Cause I'm stoned
Every town must have a place Where phony hippies meet Psychedelic dungeons Popping up on every street GO TO SAN FRANCISCO . . .
How I love ya, How I love ya How I love ya, How I love ya Frisco! How I love ya, How I love ya How I love ya, How I love ya Oh, my hair is getting good in the back!
Every town must have a place Where phony hippies meet Psychedelic dungeons Popping up on every street GO TO SAN FRANCISCO . . .
Hotcha!
First I'll buy some beads And then perhaps a leather band To go around my head Some feathers and bells And a book of Indian lore I will ask the Chamber Of Commerce How to get to Haight Street And smoke an awful lot of dope I will wander around barefoot I will have a psychedelic gleam in my eye at all times I will love everyone I will love the police as they kick the shit out of me on the street I will sleep . . . I will, I will go to a house That's, that's what I will do I will go to a house Where there's a rock & roll band 'Cause the groups all live together And I will join a rock & roll band I will be their road manager And I will stay there with them And I will get the crabs But I won't care

But I vote for Chunga's Revenge. He showed great musical range on that one.
