Anything from the seventies .
Sheik Yerbouti, Joe's Garage, love them.
Live in New York, can go on here
( Bozzio, Colaiuta yeaah!!!)

About that linked video: omg those other 3 guys are so dumb, talking about censorship, being rude to Zappa and thus making so clear that open minded people don't need censorship and that theyselves have a big problem.

FZ was the man. I own forty of his albums and still don't think I have enough. Funnily enough, I'd recommend his best of, Strictly Commercial to newcomers because he has so many different types of music that it's hard to give any one album as a good example of his stuff.

Maybe check these songs:

"Call Any Vegetable" for basic sillyness

"The Jazz Discharge Party Hats" for extreme sillyness

"Sinister Footwear II" for virtuous composition (and Mr Vai at 19)

"Peaches en Regalia" for instrumental quasi-jazz

and the entirety of his London Symphony orchestra stuff for the classical sorta thing.

Stunt guitar and strat abuse

i recommend "sheik yerbouti" for the first time listener. purely for "the ballad of bobby brown" and the best/stickiest/funniest lyric in the world:

"rabbit, rabbit, rabbit, rabbit up your poopchute"

gets stuck in my head and wont leave. damn you zappa!

Yeah, Sheik Yerbouti and Apostraphe are both CDs I'd reccomend to new listeners. Freak Out is also very good.

It's actually

"ram it, ram it, ram it, ram it up your poop chute" (or even cheute, not sure)

Wrist-watch Crisco!

I want a brazen little Jewish Princess
With titanic tits, and sand-blasted zits
She can even be poor
So long as she does it with four on the floor



I guess we could pretty much copy paste the whole album.

Here's also one of my favourites:

Ugly is bad
And bad is wrong
And wrong is sinful
And sin leads to eternal damnation
An' hot burnin' fire
Hot burnin'fire
Hot burnin' fire
Hot burnin' fire
Screams of agony
Screams of agony
Screams of agony
Screams of agony
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrghhhhhhh!
