This is unfair Unhappy.

I love VDGG but Zappa is one of the great musical minds of the 20th century...

Zappa had some really disappointing albums, like for example the "Sheik Yerbouti" trilogy. so it's VdGG for me; they never disappointed

Zappa is so unique and original, and musical. Of course, both artists are very unique, and these polls I think often are unfair in grouping music that is quite unlike in the same poll. I like both artists. But even though Zappa has some (more than some?) disappointing albums, the weight of his good stuff is massive

It's Zappa for me but I want to see how they matched up. Both are, how shall I say, Unique?

Absolutely. VdGG are special but Frank Zappa is Frank Zappa, gets my vote here.
