As you probably already know Frank Zappa is an extreme musical genius/composer/comedian/guitarist. I think this is a comprehensive greatest hits album of the "approachable" variety especially for newcomers to Zappas' work. You know this guy is one of the few if not the only artist to ever successfully merge excellent rock with satirical comedy. He's also classically trained and has put out classical albums. But back to the album.
Songs:
1.Peaches in regalia: A gorgeous instrumental complete with keybords, pianos, syncopated drums, and a brass section, it has goofy twists where the song actually seems to parody itself, and there are lovely guitar solos.There is a sweet sax solo.
2.Very funny song/story about a dream of being an eskimo and getting in a fight with a fur trapper who beat his favorite baby seal. Chorus is "watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow".
