I have two albuns of Frank Zappa: "The Grand Wazoo" and "Hot Rats". He has a big discography, but some sounds like these Jazz Rock classics? ------------- Desconfie do próprio espelho. |

| Definitely 'Waka/Jawaka' next. After that try 'Make A Jazz Noise Here', amazing live album with a big band style line-up. |

While Zappa is surely *progressive*, there isn't too much that sounds
like *classic* prog, if that's what you are looking for. The previously
reccomended "Make A Jazz Noise Here" is excellent (albeit largely jazz
flavored as well). If you enjoy 20th century classical, be sure to
check out "The Yellow Shark". The "You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore"
series (YCDTOSA) features some amazing stuff that covers many different
eras and styles of Zappa's music. Kerry M |

My personal favorite, Over-Nite Sensation is less jazzy, more of a blues/classic rock sound, but still an enjoyable album. |

| Apostrophe (') and Over-Nite Sensation both have a more classic rock sound, but they're still very enjoyable and some of Zappa's best albums. |

I´m looking for Fusion, Jazz Rock... I don´t think Zappa have any "classic prog" music, but that kind of fusion (Hot Rats, The Grand Wazoo) is the best. ------------- Desconfie do próprio espelho. |

Well i dont got so many Zappa albums so i shuldent say its the best hes ever done but We're only in it for the money is my favorite by far its yust perfect. personly i dont like zappa very much i dont think he did take music seriusly enough, most of the time when i lisen to hes music (Sheik yerbuti for example) it yust make me feel emberesed its so redicules not fun not beautiful or good. He was definitly best in the begining of hes career thats what i think. -------------

Zargus, I suggest you try some of the albums mentioned in this thread. They show the "serious" side of Zappa much more. I too, don't care so much for his later 'novelty' songs. They're just disappointing. And Joren... Waka/Jawaka.  |
