So is the general opinion that "We're Only in It for the Money" is his best album?

Any of you guys seen Zappa Plays Zappa? I'm gonna check out the Progressive Nation Tour this year, hoping it lives up to the hype.

i think that getting a general consensus on which of his 70+ albums is best is probably impossible. my favorite is absolutely free.

Absolutely Free is a terrific album. I haven't had a proper dig around the man's discography yet, but it's my favourite alongside Sheik Yerbouti and Jazz From Hell.

you should dig around on here first and see what tickles, the allmusic reviewers can be hit and miss but i cant argue with most of those ratings. Different albums for different days of the week I think, despite being impossibly eclectic he had distinct phases of experimental form, which will all become clear when you read the reviews... i.e. mid seventies zap is a whole different kettle of fish to late 60's or whatever

Then Miles Davis is the Devil, and John Coltrane is the Holy Ghost. Now I have something to believe in, thank you!!!

ChiliColdBlood,

To tell you the truth "Project Object" is way better. "Zappa Plays Zappa" is a freaking joke, over priced, TERRIBLE SOUND, and half of the original Mothers Play with Dweasel out of binding contracts, not because they want to play. The other remaining Mothers playing with "Project Object" play Zappa's music because they want to help spread the word of Zappa. But that's my opinion.

Hm, well, good to know. I'd only heard good things about Zappa Plays Zappa till now.

The only problem is Project Object doesn't tour as much! It sounds like they'd be better to see, but I don't think they've ever played anywhere near me... blah. I'll probably go to Progressive Nation anyway, I (kinda) like DT and Pain of Salvation.

I've fallen in love.
I'm doing an extra credit assignment for my Spanish class and I'm doing it on Frank Zappa.
He's not hispanic, but my teacher doesn't know that; when it comes to music she's about as knoledgeable as a scab.
