I never read this entire thread but the record I never heard anyone mention is "Cruising With Ruben and The Jets. I love that record. However, it is Frank's ode to 1950's doo wop so it might not be everyone's cup of tea. Nor did I see any mention of "Absolutely Free" which I consider to be the best of the early stuff. But all "The Mothers of Invention" records are great in my opinion especially "Burnt Weeny Sandwich" and "Weasels Ripped My Flesh." I highly recommend "Uncle Meat," Waka/ Jaka," and "Grand Wazoo" as well.
