1. Mother People(We're only in it for the Money)

2. Oh No into The Orange County Lumber Truck [two tracks but it's kind of a mini suite] (Weasels Ripped My Flesh)

3. The Grand Wazoo (The Grand Wazoo)

4. The whole first side of Apostrophe (Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow through Cosmik Debris.  It's a narrative so I'll count it as one.)

5. Inca Roads (One Size Fits All)

6. Punky's Whips (Laether)

7. The Torture Never Stops (Zoot Allures)

8. The Adventures of Greggery Peccary (Laether or Studio Tan version)

9. Yo' Mama (Sheik Yerbouti)

10. Beauty Knows No Pain (You Are What You Is)


Fuck, 10 Zappa songs... With roughly 80 recordings (and even the live material is full of new material, even the reinterpretations of older tunes) you're looking at, literally, less than 1/100th of one percent of Frank's discography.

Choosing just 10 was annoying so here's 10 more.  Both these lists are in just about chronological order.

1. Motherly Love (Freak Out)

2.  Call any Vegetable (Absolutely Free)

3. Lumpy Gravy, Part Two (Lumpy Gravy)

4. I'm the Slime (Overnite Sensation)

5. Cheepnis (Roxy & Elsewhere)

6. Andy (One Size Fits All)

7. Titties & Beer (Laether, Zappa in New York, whatever)

8. Rat Tomago (Sheik Yerbouti)

9. City of Tiny Lites (Sheik Yerbouti)

10. Cocaine Decisions (Man From Utopia)


I partially chose these 20 songs as stuff that someone just getting into Zappa might like and want to hear more.

The first song you need to download if you like Zappa's guitar skills is Black Napkins.

1 - Black Napkins
2 - Willie the Pimp
3 - The Muffin Man
4 - Inca Roads
5 - Sexual Harassment In the Workplace
6 - I'm the Slime
7 - Son Of Mr. Green Genes
8 - Grand Wazoo
9 - Montana (get a live version with the guitar solo)
10 - Cosmik Debris

There are tons more, it's hard to think of some that would draw you in more than those.. but once you get a taste for the more commercial stuff you'll really find that his crazy obscure live shit is the best.

I highly recommend you try to see Dweezil's "Zappa Plays Zappa" tour if possible.

2.  Magdalena

3.  Dinah-Moe Humm
4.  Montana
From Over-Nite Sensation

5.  Cosmik Debris
6.  Excentrifugal Forz

There is also an album with Beefheart that is excellent.  Bongo Fury, special mention to Debra Kedabra and Muffin Man.

YES.

Listen to this guy's ten. If you like the guitar solos the most, then you're like me and you'll also dig 'Sleep Dirt' and 'Filthy Habits.'

When it is fully fleshed out there will be 100 responders recommending 500 different songs.  My true recommendation;  start at one end and work your way through to at least Joe's Garage Parts 2&3 and Sheik.  You will laugh your ass off and gaze in wide wonder at the sheer musicianship of not just FZ but his entire band.
