Neil, I feel exactly the same way. Problem is that there’s so much of FZ’s music out there, and I don’t really know where to start.
I did buy an LP, ‘The Grand Wazoo’, a couple of months ago, but I haven’t yet dared to put it on the LP12.

Wazoo is a good album, Graham. Good example of Frank in big band mode! Get it on.
I fully understand not getting Frank, i’m the only person that i know that did get him 
I got him as a teenager in the 1970’s though, so he has had a hell of a long time to get into my musical head.
Yes @steviebee, Wazoo is a very good album to cut your Zappa teeth on. As would be Hot Rats and Overnight Sensation. I would say that if someone dosn’t get Frank after listening to those 3 albums, they probably never will get him.

Thank you, that’s helpful. I may well buy those other two LPs, and spend an afternoon listening to them all in one sitting.

It’s a good job i’ve alredy got most of Zappa’s albums…i can see the price on Discogg’s going up as i type.

I’m digital/cd only! You’re safe… 
I’ve always gone for early Mothers meself (Uncle Meat is a stone classic, as is Freak Out, Absolutely Free and Money)…never really adjusted to Howard and co’s vocal shenanigans. Burnt Weeny Sandwich is a little cracker.
But I wonder what classical buffs would make of Frank’s more, um, classical stuff?
Hot Rats I think would be a great start for newbies.

I have ordered those three Zappa LPs from Amazon. I’ll report back in a week or so.
Thanks for the recommendation.

My personal favorite live album Jimi Hendrix Concerts. Had it since my youth and never tire of it. Stella versions of Red House, Hear My Train A Comin, Hey Joe, Bleeding Heart, Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) and Little Wing

Great album, lousy cover art.
Hendrix never looked like Fred Flintstone.
Or had a monobrow.

What Skynyrd were to Atlanta Sue Foley is to Austin. I think this new release is up with the classics.

There are quite a few lurking around, yours truly being one of them. 
I think In the West is better by a country mile. If you’ve not heard it, try it and see what you think.
