5 out of 5 stars Good stuff...for sure.........2004-09-21

A Little background about myself... Primus is and has been my favorite band for a few years now, I own nearly every album that les claypool has released (sausage, holy mackeral, primus, etc.). I was wondering through my local CD shop, and came across Frank Zappa. I had heard a few songs prior to this.. Crew Slut, I'm The Slime, and a couple others and loved them...

I did a double take when i saw this album, in all it's glory, displayed on the shelf. Larry LaLonde's favorite Zappa tunes... is this for real? Next thing you know, it's spinning in my CD Player....

This album opened me up to more frank zappa material, and being a low-income college kid, i haven't had a chance to pick up anything else up by Zappa, but i do go over to the Zappa section at the CD Shop and drool occasionally... I'm planning on buying Joe's Garage (all 3) and Over-Nite Sensation as soon as funds allow.

This CD gets played nearly as much as my Primus collection, It's an awesome album.. i'm especially fond of Camarillo Brillo and Fine Girl... but the CD is a good listen all the way through. Anyone who thinks that this and Jon Fishman's Picks are a rip-off or a scandal need to lighten up. I'm sure these CDs will open up a lot of Phish and Primus fans to the very unique, and fun tunes that are Frank Zappa....

Obviously, if you already own his whole collection, then there is no point in buying these albums, but otherwise, check them out.

5 out of 5 stars Brand New Zappa Fan.......2003-04-18

Before buying this album I had never heard any Frank Zappa. My musical tastes are quite eclectic and I'm on a constant quest to add to the collection. I don't recall the first time I wanted to check out Zappa, but being a long time Primus fan, Ler's name caught my eye. For anything else this cd will prod an interest. I'm dusting off a large section of shelf space for Zappa now.

5 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Collection!.......2003-04-11

In the liner notes for this wonderful selection of Zappa music, Larry LaLonde says, "I don't know the words to describe how much Frank Zappa's music means to me." I sure wish that I could talk to Larry over a few micro-beers and find out. The way that he put these 19 pieces together makes for infectious listening. I have greatly expanded my collection of Zappa albums and will continue to add to them. So far, One Size Fits All has been the greatest suprise. I am old enough to have been listening to this wonderful album since it's release, but I never knew of it at all! This Zappa Picks is truely great and can be used as a road map to discovering some of the best Frank Zappa music ever!
