Ok, the basic idea here is to identify the greatest Zappa album from each decade then to take the winners and pit them against each other in a final mind boggling, mustache twirling battle royal.  Each poll will include both studio and live releases and there will be five polls: "the 60s", "the 70s", "the 80s", "the 90s (including posthumous)", and "the 2000s (all posthumous)".  Any excuse for more Zappa in the forums, I say! Hot Rats took "the 60s"  while "the 70s" went to the One Size Fits All and "the 80s" was taken by You Are What You Is in a stunning run off election.  This week judgement will be passed on "the 90s (including posthumous)".  Once again, you will be granted a weeks worth of seconds, minutes, hours, and days to decide.
 
Results:
"the 60s": Hot Rats (1969)
"the 70s": One Size Fits All (1975)
"the 80s": You Are What You Is (1981)

Civilization Phaze III for me.

You should include Zappa in the title.

Lather, though it actually belongs in the '70's batch of albums.  But of course Warner Bros. and FZ were at war during the time.  If I hadn't chosen Lather, I'd probably go with Make a Jazz Noise, or perhaps Best Band.

A vote for The Yellow Shark.
 
An excellent, excellent, underrated album (that somehow has four votes already!).
 
Other noteables: The Best Band...Make A Jazz Noise...and Civilization Phase III.

I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive
Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect.
