The closest I've heard so far are Grand Wazoo and Waka/Jawaka. They're not quite the same, though they're some excellent (top-notch, I'd say) material, and still very much jazz oriented.

I too need more Zappa.
Do any of his other albums have a similar sound or style to Hot Rats?

Hmm, Make a Jazz Noise Here or YCDTOSA2? (both eventually, of course, but which should I get first?)

You're preaching to the choir; I have over 50 of his albums, haha.
Absolute musical genius, pretty much my biggest idol ever.

That title probably goes (musically) to Christian Vander for me. Zappa's a close contender, though.

It's good, but it depends; what do you have?

I think I'm going to go to bed. Because I need to wake up in 6 hours. To study for an exam in 12 hours. I might be back here in a week or so, depending on how things turn out. I might try to write a review in my spare time, which will be weird since I haven't written a review in about 3 years it seems.
