Format:Audio CD
Having just read the retrospective of Zappa's work in Mojo magazine I thought i'd give this cd a try to see if it was as good as everybody was intimating.
My tastes in music range from Punk rock through to Heavy metal and progressive rock so I feared that this cd might be too Jazzy for my liking.How wrong could I be? Every single track here is a tour de force of exemplary musicianship coupled with great humour.
For me the strangest thing I can say about this collection is that I really cannot put my finger on why I love it I just do!
Im so impressed by the production of this cd,the clarity of the myriad of instruments is astonishing and i'm no audiophile i've just played it on my bog standard in-car cd player.
Trying to single out any stand out tracks is exceedingly difficult as the tracks are all so different but I do especially like the doo wop influenced " Joe's Garage" and the awesome guitar wig out of the "Muffin Man" which has an hilarious spoken word intro.
All in all this is a great introduction to a great great talent whose love for music shines through in every track and best of all it's inspired me to get hold some more of his work.

Before this CD came out I did often wonder which songs would make a proper "best of Frank Zappa" CD. I bought Strictly Commercial at first sight although I already had the music on the old albums and I wasn't disappointed. Rykodisc have gathered together all the "top list" songs here (if Top 40 only had been hip enough). The exception may be Sexual Harassment. They should have chosen I Don't Wanna Get Drafted instead. (The 1980 single mix). It was actually on the charts here in Sweden. I especially appreciate the single edits of some songs, Joe's Garage for instance. Strictly Commercial is a perfect young person's guide to FZ.

So there you have it! This is a hell of an album which contains some of the most inspired music ever played. You can find in it some of the old classics like "dont you eat that yellow snow" mixed whith some really cheesy songs and virtuoso guitar soloing. Take a look at sexual harassment in the workplace to see what i mean... Frank's sense of humor is always present and its just fantastic to hear again biblic stuff like "Bobby brown".

Frank Zappa for beginners? Maybe. But also for the hardcore fan who sometimes just want a career wide slice that touches all the bases; avant garde wackiness; satire; humour; band... Read more

The best of Frank
As has been said, the most accessable Frank Zappa. Maybe not for the die-hard fans, they probably have these tracks anyway, but a good introduction without the weirder stuff. Read more

Those new to Zappa, buy it
If you are new to Zappa, buy it now. An awesome collection attempting to condense the enormous diversity and sheer amount of work FZ has created in his career, and does so as well... Read more
