Well, I have seven out of twelve of those and enjoy them all.
Over-Nite Sensation    
Apostrophe (')    
One Size Fits All    
Zoot Allures    
Studio Tan    
Sheik Yerbouti    
Joe's Garage

If you like Sheik be sure and get the companion DVD Baby Snakes.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Haven't heard them all, but I like Grand Wazoo most out of what I have heard.

I voted for One Size Fits All, although it was tough. Another day, in another mood, it might be Zoot Allures or Joe's Garage. I also have a soft spot for Fillmore East 1971, but I guess this is just studio stuff.

Anyway, One Size Fits All. Phenomenal album!

I'm going to do a poll for Zappa live albums. I will include In New York and Roxy & Elsewhere; I agree that those are two of Zappa's best albums.

I'm surprised no one's voted for Apostrophe yet.

It's either Roxy & Elsewhere or Zappa in New York, two of my absolute favorite albums of all-time.
 
But since those are not here, Over-Nite Sensation gets my vote, another of my dearest albums.

That doesn't make you weird. I love it too. Anybody who doesn't like the album that has "Black Napkins" and "The Torture Never Stops" can go f**k themselves. LOL


Except for the fact that a large chunk of the record is largely disposable. Heck, 2/3 of "Torture" could be cut out and I wouldn't mind at all.

Today, my vote goes to Over-Nite Sensation.

Where's Roxy & Elsewhere? Or In New York?

I go for One Size, although it's a hard poll, this being my favorite FZ-decade.

True, but I would say that preferring it over Over-Nite Sensation and Apostrophe is pretty weird. Tongue

My favorite Zappa album.
