| In the musical wasteland that was the 1980's, Frank and a handfull of others (King Crimson, Steve Morse... ) saved Prog music from Death By Formulaic Suffocation. It was during this time that the Maestro gave us such masterpieces as "Shut Up 'N Play Yer Guitar" (et all), Jazz From Hell, and Them Or Us. While his myriad contributions are incalculable, for the sake of this poll I must give it up to the Zappa of the 80's. |

| Surely ROXY AND ELSEWHERE, ONE SIZE FITS ALL and IN NEW YORK (all from the 1973-1975 period, if I'm not mistaken) are among the most imaginative prog albums ever recorded, anywhere? |

73 - 75 by a mile.
69 - 72 has some of my favourite albums (Hot Rats, Waka Jawaka & Grand Wazoo), but it also has those awful 'Flo & Eddie' albums.

I voted for his beginning period, and Im really surprised about being the only one. In these years he made three masterpieces that should be in every top 100 of most memorable rock albums.
I'm certainly not saying I don't like his other albums! Hot Rats, Over-nite Sensation, One Size Fits All,....he's made an endless list of classics. Without any doubt I can say he's the greatest musical genius of the twentieth century (and I don't see anyone like him standing up in the 21st century!) ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ozrictesticles/?chartstyle=sideRed - [IMG - http://imagegen.last.fm/sideRed/artists/ozrictesticles.gif - |

Whatever era Steve Vai was in.
I just wish Zappa would have produced some of his stuff
A lot of his solo stuff is too much guitar and nothing else

| He has great stuff in all of his periods...Uncle Meat was an experimental masterpiece, way ahead of its time, but so was his last album, "Civilization"...I think we'll catch up to that one in about 20 years. |

Early Zappa. "It Can't Happen Here" and the likes are unbeatable. "Suzy Creamcheese"? "Yes, yes!" "Suzy... I remember we went into town and were very interested in your... um... developments..." "Forget it"! "Mmmmmmmmm". Unbelievable moments of freaking out.

73-75; I cannot get enough of the Duke-Underwood-Underwood-Thompson-etc. lineup. The original Mothers are close, as is the Hot Ratz period. -------------   |

Mee too with addition of "One size fits all" and "Big Wazoo". Also live "Roxy and elsewhere" and "The best band you'll never heard in your life" with lineup from Joe's garage are my favorites
