I adore Waka/Jawaka as well, and the recently released "Wazoo" from the tour of the same name is pretty astounding all around.

I haven't heard a lot of Zappa, but I do know that if your heart is broken you're an *******.

I've always been fond of his Uncle Meat album.

Zappa is ridiculously underrated, both as a guitarist and a songwriter. I mean...his music is UNBELIEVABLY difficult. So few bands or even composers in general have ever reached his level of composition because he's just ridiculous.

Zappa = God

And not just that but charisma , a sense of humour and intelligence too.
That's what really make him stand out for me from all the other fret wankers.

We just watched "Does Humor Belong In Music?" last night, live DVD from a 1984 show. I've never got much into later FZ but seeing what was happening on the stage gave it the dimension it had been lacking. And can I add, I am so lucky as to share my life with the only girl I've ever met who enjoys Frank!

Zappa is pretty much the greatest man ever.

Basically everything he touched was gold.
