Well my introduction to Zappa was Joe's Garage. Someone got me very, very stoned in my teens and played the entire album and nothing was ever the same again (musically).
- Joe's Garage
- You are what you is.
- Ship Arriving Too Late To Save A Drowning Witch
- Over-Nite Sensation
Trouble is ask 20 Zappa fans and you'll get 20 different answers!

Totally agree with your recommendations. Another approach could be to find which era and musicians you connect with the most. The Ed Mann vocals and keys are very accessible foe new listeners. The Tommy Mars keyboards are intricate and unpredictable. Adrian Belew’s guitar is out there, Steve Vai’s more rock and experimental. All of the drummers have a different feel. Thunes, Ohearn, Barrow all add different flavors. My take on Zappa is that every version of the band is different. Find a version of the band you connect with then branch out.
