Like many of you it is difficult to assemble a small list of greatest 
Zappa songs. Sometimes I can listen to Punky's Whips over and over; 
not as much for the lyrics, but for its musical foundation. Willie 
the Pimp (HR) always is captivating, but I also thnk the same thing 
about most live MOI stuff '68-'69, etc.) that I'm lucky to listen to. 
I have on several occasions made some non Zappa friends listen to 
Son Of Mr. Green Genes (HR) telling them that that is the sinlge tune 
that could completely represent Frank if I had to choose only one. So 
that is my all time favorite Zappa song, but after I wake up tomorrow 
I'm sure I'll kick myself for not chossing a different one.

What started as a list of 5 all time favourites seems to be growing and growing.
If someone listed every track on every album I would gladly listen to every one!

But I suppose if there was just one  it would Sofa No1
I would gladly salute the smoke to that every morning.

Mmmm... then again I'd prefer Inca Roads.. no.. Peaches  no... Echidna's 
arf (of you)

Oh Bugger!I don't know  In the words of Mary Poppins   "Just start at 
the very beginning"
Work through and then in the words of Frank  "Alright, everyone back to the 
top!"

Satumaa (Finnish Tanogo)
Inca Roads
Florentine Pogen
Sinister Footwear II
Drowning Witch
