Reply to comment by Flintoid in Frank Zappa - gender-bender style pioneer (1967) by MonotonousSolid

Shut your eyes, hold your breath, and jump. Maybe start with Hot Rats, Apostrophe ('), Sheik Yerbouti, and Joe garage. If you like those, try the live albums.

Good advice. I started with Apostrophe. It still took me a while to expand from there, but now consider myself a fan. I'd also recommend Overnight Sensation as a good starting point

Once you get Zappa down, take a deep breath, and put on Trout Mask Replica by Capt Beefheart.

Or put on Zappa's "Bongo Fury" and get Beefheart and Zappa together. Those two were friends from high school.
