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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 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!

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

Well, I have seven out of twelve of those and enjoy them all.
Over-Nite Sensation

Zoot Allures
Studio Tan

Joe's Garage
If you like Sheik be sure and get the companion DVD Baby Snakes.

The Grand Wazoo but I'm a big Hot Rats fan so that's no surprise.

You're not alone. "Black Napkins" is brilliant. But One Size Fits All just might be my fav. Ich bin der chrome dinette.
