Good one, but in the end I definitely choose King Kong.  Both are great, though.

I'll go for 'Little House..', it's simply EPIC! I love the change of paces, the solos, everything is brilliant!

Dang man, there's some Zappa I haven't heard (not a hard thing for even a diehard Zappa fan).  I've got The Jean-Luc Ponty King Kong album. Big smile

Correction, I have both of them.  They weren't particularly memorable at the moment. EmbarrassedLOL

So to turn this post into something useful, if you enjoy King Kong, you will probably like the Ponty album.:
Ponty, Jean-Luc - King Kong: Jean-Luc Ponty Plays The Music Of Frank Zappa CD Cover Art

King Kong: Jean-Luc Ponty Plays The Music Of Frank Zappa CD

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Little House
 
By a short bit. KK is one of my favorite Zappa melodies though.

As usual with Zappa, gonna have to go do some relistening before choosing.  I always did like the melody of King Kong, though nothing wrong with Little House...

 
 
Can you tell me where we're headin'?
