Zappa considered his life and work as a "conceptual continuity", so it doesn't really matter where you start, either you love it or you don't. Nevertheless try the Black Page drum solo on New York, a big dance tune!

I started with Apostrophe' and it's still my favourite Zappa album. So I'd start with that.
