Hot Rats is excellent indeed though I like One Size Fits All, Grand Wazoo and Roxy & Elsewhere a bit better.

Hot Rats is the masterpiece of Zappa's experimental side. Basically invented Jazz fusion.

Hot rats is not experimental albun. There are a lot of "experimental", avant Zappa's albums: Uncle meat, We are here only for the money, Make jazz noise here, even Freak out, but Hot rats is in a category of regular Zappa albums: One size fits all, Bongo fury, Joe's garage, Overnight sensation...
Zappa didn't "invent" fusion. Miles Davis did. The members of his band were: John Mclaughlin, Billy Cobham (Mahavishnu orchestra), Wayne Shorter, Josef Zawinul (Weather report), Chick Corea (Return to forever), Herbie Hancock (Headhunters).

Listening to Hot Rats the first time, a few days after its release in the Uk, both my brother and I concluded that this was the true form of jazz rock, even with hindsight the blues of Willie The Pimp doesn't quite fit that criteria.
And Pero, (writer sighs in exasperation, for the umpteenth time): who told you Miles Davis invented fusion - Miles was a bit late into the game, so please 'popularised' not 'invented'? Stuart Nicholson's authorative book Jazz Rock A History will fill in the gaps.John Coltrane and Dave Brubeck Quartet had more influence on both prog rock and the jazz rock sub-genre

I actually don't really concider Hot Rats as a Jazz-Fusion album, but more like a Blues-Prog album with jazz-rock influences.
