So did I. Given my fave album is Hot Rats, too, can anyone suggest me other Zappa albums? I don't want to deal with the ~100 album discography!!! I may suggest you Tangerine Dream albums in return  (I listened to the first 9 albums in the discography here, and found Weasels.. also worthy, but not at par with Hot Rats. I am an experimental/Fusion/Krautrock type of listener these days, but not so much into fusion!)
Just hit the PM button at the bottom of my post
Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret:
Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!)

I had to go with One Size Fits All. That '74 band was unstoppable.

There are so many good albums by this man.

Unfortunately I have only first 15 albums of Mr. Zappa, but even though it's hard choice to choose one.

He was so prolific and diverse, that I think it would be more appropriate to create poll like "Best Era Of Zappa (60's 70's 80's 90's)" or "What Genre Suits To Zappa Best?" (jazz, doo-wop, etc...) or "Zappa's Best Jazz-Rock Album"...

As for this poll I'll go for HOT RATS.

P.S: Jesus H. Christ! Some freak voted for Lumpy Gravy
Weasels ripped my flesh

I prefer the jazzier Zappa, so Hot Rats for me. I also enjoy One Size fits all, but have not heard The Grand Wazoo.

Thoug one... I voted for SHEIK but as we all know it's a very hard decision to make... Almost every Zappa album is a masterpiece...
