There's so many!!
My favorites are:
Keep It Greasey, Inca Roads, Willie The Pimp, Truck Driver Divorce among MANY others. Most of his solos are fantastic. ------------- RIO/AVANT/ZEUHL - The best thing you can get with yer pants on! |

my favorite is............... the solo on sleep dirt (track 6?? of the sleep dirt album) and the pojama people solo. the guitars by frank zappa always are interesting, exept some tracks live which extend much. this is my humble opinion ------------- por que el sol no es de mitad y la otra mitad de aquella mitad?? |

My top five would be: Watermelon In Easter Hay Black Napkins Zoot Allures Inca Roads Rat Tomago My secret top five would be: Pojama People Cruising For Burgers (Zappa In New York version) St. Etienne Friendly Little Finger Them Or Us My double secret top five would be: Nine Types Of Industrial Pollution Willie The Pimp Transylvania Boogie Theme From A Burnt Weeny Sandwich Apostrophe Also, everything on Shut Up And Play Your Guitar. OK, I'll stop now. Sorry. ------------- So much music. So little time. |

The solo in Truck Driver Divorce almost made me rupture something

definitely. Sexual Harrassment in the Workplace, Inca Roads. Were The
Dangerous Kitchen and Jazz Discharge Party Hat Frank, or Vai? There's just way, way too many to choose from! ------------- Pure Brilliance:
