Must listen to them. I like Frank Zappa's guitar on "Stinkfoot" a lot; a
nice use of a voltage-controlled filter, I think:

One of the FM stations has something they call 'Franksgiving' on Friday
where they mix in numbers from Frank Zappa and Frank Sinatra. Some of the
Sinatra stuff isn't bad but I can't say the same for Zappa. Thankfully he
grew his crop of dental floss someplace other than Montana.

Zappa's "Apostrophe" album has a number of good tunes (including "Stinkfoot").

Totally different genre from ol' Frank Sinatra.

    Lawyers representing Frank Sinatra have demanded a list of the names of
    newspapers that published a ''Doonesbury'' cartoon strip satirizing Mr.
    Sinatra from the distributor of the comic so they can seek retractions.

    The strip, by Garry Trudeau, was published June 13. It contained an
    exchange between Mr. Sinatra, who was out of the picture, and a casino
    blackjack dealer. Mr. Sinatra's dialogue threatens to have the dealer
    dismissed if she shuffles the cards before dealing.

    The strip, using parentheses, had Mr. Sinatra saying, ''Get me your
    (obscene gerund) boss, you little (anatomically explicit epithet)!''
