they should make a Hot Rats/Grand Wazoo/Waka Jawaka dvd

im with you 100% on this! i love this set of albums both individually and as a whole.

i have been listening to over-nite sensation a lot the past few months. it is far from his best work as a musician though.

Grand Wazoo DOESN\'T have an over produced sound?

Besides the composed big band sections, Grand Wazoo is very loosely structured.  God I wish Zappa recorded more big band stuff from that period. It\'s beyond me why so many **** Zappa fans immensly dislike that period, yet fall over ga ga for the Flo and Eddie period.

I don\'t know... I think it has a much more polished sound than W/J... which is why I don\'t like it as much as the latter.

Treychica, (and any other zappa freaks) what is your favorite Zappa period, and what albums does that period include? Just curious.

Yes he did and it was his most brilliant work up to that point.  If only he broke his sternum in the mid 80\'s.....  

















Then hopefully they would\'ve caught his prostate cancer. :(

I love the waka jawaka/grand wazoo period. He wrote those albums while he had a broken neck and was in a wheelchair if I\'m not mistaken.

its definitely not the best of either the satirist nor song writing sides of zappa, buts its classic. cosmik debris is one of my favorite FZ tunes (at least when i\'m driving alone). if anything, overnite sensation is the bummer for me. the songs are obviosly great but i feel like the album has an over produced sound. i dunno, they should make a Hot Rats/Grand Wazoo/ Waka Jawaka dvd

The album took conceptual continuity to the next level, but yeah, lacked any real musical direction.  I personally like to take a bite out of Civilization Phase III every once in awhile so I can appreciate the simplistic side of Frank.

Go Valley Girl!! Fer Sure, Fer Sure!!

Well you have to look at the two Zappas... the satirist and the song writer. This emphasizes the first. You and I.... look to the latter...

Sidenote: Joe dislikes Apostrophe because it\'s too easy.... ;)

Apostrophe the song and Uncle Remus are the only good songs on the album. The rest is a bunch of over indulgent, dadaist nonsense, mixed with slapstick humor that unfortunately became what Zappa was recognized for in mainstream media and music.

(\') is a sweet bass solo man. Er, or are you talking about the album as a whole? First copy I owned was the double album cd (\')/overnite, so the two albums work together for me as one stellar piece. Individually I\'m not that impressed with either of them.

Might be good. Would much rather see the Roxy DVD or a pairing of Overnite Sensation and One Size Fits All.
