Top 5 Zappa Albums?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I only have 40 or 50 of FZ's albums.  Top 5 is hard to do.  Do I choose one from each era?  Do I ignore the early albums, many of which are easily five star, so that I can include some of the later albums?  Well here's a try, though it will change depending which way the wind blows:

1.  One Size Fits All (probably FZ's finest album, ever)
2.  We're Only In It For the Money 
3.  Burnt Weenie Sandwich
4.  Sheik Yerbouti
5.  The Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life

Honorable mention goes to about another dozen albums, which didn't make the top 5 due to quality control issues in the UMRK.
