I thought Larry Coryell predated Zappa for jazz-rock with his group The Free Spirits (formed in 66), and Gary Burton (Time Machine, 1966, being early forays) and Jeremy Steig with Jeremy and the Satyrs.  I guess Miles Davis first released jazz-rock (or electric jazz) album might be Miles in the Sky, though I think of his first true one as In a Silent Way (maybe his first true Fusion album)..

Zappa's Hot Rats wasn't released until 69, and there were many others that were released before that of the jazz-rock variety. And what about Soft Machine?

I stand corrected, Bitches Brew is often cited as the birth of jazz-rock (apparantly not here), and as Hot Rats is recorded at the same time....Zappa might have had some acquaintance of earlier jazz-rock.
Hot Rats s still a wonderful album  to my ears.

ROXY AND ELSEWHERE, which is similar to ONE SIZE, but live and even more exciting.

One Size Fits All.  That's just the perfect Zappa album out of a vault of hundreds of staggeringly brilliant albums.  I'd say it was hard to choose since I love so many of FZ's works, but really it's easy for me to choose OSFA.

I'll give it to Joe's Garage, it's inconsistent, but it has some of my favorite Zappa moments with perhaps my all-time favorite Packard Goose.

I haven't heard very many Zappa albums, five from this list and a couple of others. I could have voted for Hot Rats, but I went for other. We're Only In It For the Money is my favourite after all.
It's on PA!

 "Inca Roads" is my one of the favorites.

One Size Fits All, though Hot Rats and Roxy/Elsewhere are just about even with it. He has so many ridiculously good albums! Actually, he has lots of pretty good albums bogged down from being great by one or two stupid songs. But taken as a whole, he's got the best discography of anyone I've ever listened to.

For me, the standouts here are One Size Fits All and Shiek Yerbouti. My two favorites easily. Can't vote.
