I'm a Zappa neophyte, having just discovered his music within the past 10 days.  My feelings:  I am blown AWAY!!!  Zappa was so intelligent, provocative, irreverent, inventive, audacious, cunning and brilliant, he has become my second favorite artist of all time.  (Steely Dan is, and always will be, first).  For a rabid music fan who owns no less than 20,000 recordings, that is quite a feat.  No one has made such a drastic climb on my all-time faves list EVER! On the strength of Over-Nite Sensation,&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Apostrophe/dp/B008I34XUY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Apostrophe (')</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Freak-Out/dp/B008B37CB8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Freak Out</a>&nbsp;I invested in every studio album Zappa released.  I have played these first three albums so much within these past 10 days I already know the words to most of the tunes.  Frank crafted it this way, as OS and Apostrophe were made during his "accessible" period when he crafted a series of recordings to garner radio airplay and sales (or so I read).  For most that would mean a degradation in quality, but Zappa defies category.  He fit his lyrical and musical innovations within an up-to six-minute framework and created some of the finest music ever put on wax.  If you don't know anything about Frank, you're in for a treat/shock.  His 30-year career challenges human capabilities, for his accomplishments did not surpass anybody, it surpassed EVERYBODY!! Not a syllable in that sentence is hyperbole.  I'll leave it to you to discover how. I am enjoying my journey of discovery of Frank Zappa.  If you have an open mind, you'll come to understand of why he made the choices he made, and you will not just come to LOVE Frank, but you'll miss his presence today.  If not, you'll have to at least admire his unique and inimitable contributions to music.  Over-Nite Sensation (and Apostrophe (')) have long been cited as the place(s) to start, so listen and be prepared to be blown away.
