I gotta go with Apostrophe. I mean Jack Bruce must have gone to 11 on that title track.

I had to go with a sentimental favorite, Apostrophe.  It was actually the first Zappa album I ever listened to all the way through.  And I was so high that it truly blew my mind.  I mean, Don't Eat the Yellow Snow?  How did he ever come up with that story?  And how can anything ever top it?  Then you also get Cozmik Debris (brilliant) and Stinkfoot (brilliant again).  Plus the title track.  The album simply cannot be beat...

Peace.

For me, it's a battle between Apostrophe' and Hot Rats.. but since Apostrophe' has already so many votes I'll give mine to Hot Rats!

Does anybody like 'Make A Jazz Noise Here' as much as I do? This album is pretty under-appreciated but I think it's fantastic.

Yes 'You Are Not Alone'. 'Jazz Noise' is great. It's worth it just for the 'Eat That Question' snippet. A wonderful album. 'Grand Wazoo' has always been a big favourite of mine.

Still crazy after all these years,take it away Ruth...

Ich bin maroon
#
# Ahhhh, Why didn't  you say so
#
# Once upon a time
# Way back a long time ago
# Way back when the universe consisted
# Of nothing more elaborate
# than Mark Maroon
#
#     Thank you, Frank
#     Hiya Friends
#
# Trying to convince
# each and  every  members of this audience here tonight
# that he was nothing more, nothing less
# Than a fat maroon sofa
# Suspended in the midst of a vast emptiness
# A light shineth down from Heaven
#
# And who should appeare but the Good Lord himself
# And his faithful Saint Bernard, Wendell
#
# Down Wendell, down!
#
# And he was feeling fine that day
# And if there was one thing that he could use
# It would be a nice sofa for him and Wendell
#
# And he looked at the sofa
# And he said unto himself : This sofa is all right
# Except what it needs is a floor
# And so in order to attain the floor
# He consulted with the celestial corps of engineers
# And addressed them formaly
# With the little song in Deutsch
# Because that is the way he talks whenever it's heavy business
#
# Take it away God
#
#Gib zu mir
#Etwas Fußbodenbelag
#Unter diesem fetten, fließenden Sofa
#
#Gib zu mir
#Etwas Fussbodenbelag
#Unter diesem fetten, fliessenden Sofa
#
# And of course that means
# Give unto to me a  bit of flooring
# Underneath of this fat floating sofa
# And sure enough boards of oak appeared throughout the emptiness
# As far as vision permits
# Stretching all the way from Fondue Central up on top of the hill
# Right down  to the front door of the Excelsior Hotel
#
# And the Lord proceeded
# To deliver unto the sofa
# A brief lecture
# That will set forth in specific language
# the sum total of all
# their future relationships, including options
# With an electric clarinet
#
#  Ich bin der Himmel
#  (This goes out to [?Irving Porter] in the box)
#  Ich bin das Wasser
#  Ich bin der Dreck unter deinen Walzen
#  Ich bin dein geheimer Schmutz
#  Und verlorenes Metallgeld
#  Ich bin deine Ritze
#  Ich bin deine Ritze und Schlitze
#
#  Ich bin Wolken
#  Ich bin bestickt
#
#  Ich bin der Autor aller Felgen und Damask Paspeln
#  Ich bin der chrome dinette
#  Ich bin der chrome dinette
#  Ich bin Eier aller Arten
#
#  Ich bin alle Tage und Naechte
#  Ich bin alle Tage und Naechte
#
#  Ich bin hier
#  Und du bist mein Sofa
#  Ich bin hier
#  Und du bist mein Sofa
#  Ich bin hier
#  Und du bist mein Sofa
#
#

A year ago I said "We're Only In It For The Money" myself... but right now I don't know!!! Uncle Meat, Roxy & Elsewhere, Weasels Ripped My Flesh?  Great to see that this old poll is back, guys!

Yeah, it's a GREAT album! But I prefer Weasels Ripped My Flesh myself!
