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.

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

My double secret top five would be:
Nine Types Of Industrial Pollution
Willie The Pimp

Oh man, almost impossible. It's like having to chose your favorite Zappa solos...wait a minute...
Well, to try, and in no order
On The Bus - Joe's Garage
Magic Fingers - 200 Motels
Muffin Man - YCDTOSA6
Inca Roads - One Size...
Carolina Hard Core Ecstacy - YCDTOSA4
Well, thats what I came up with off the top o' me noodle, probably think of about 50 more in a minute here...
EDIT: Aw man, I can't believe I left off Doreen, and Watermelon in Easter Hay, and Montana, and...
2ND EDIT: ...or Apostrophe, or Black Napkins, or the Illinois Enema Bandit, or...

extremely difficult to choose, though.

The solo in Truck Driver Divorce almost made me rupture something
laughing the first time I heard it! Brilliant! Son of Mr. Green Genes,
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!
