Frank ZappaFrank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention

Zappa's restless genius on full display, careening between virtuosic instrumental fireworks, biting satire, and absurdist humor. The musicianship is staggering, the arrangements dizzyingly complex, and the whole thing refuses to sit still for a second. He could be hilarious and deadly serious in the same breath. A wild, brilliant ride for anyone ready to surrender to rock's most uncategorizable mad genius.
