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 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.

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.
