    Every track is great on this, but I wouldn't have selected all of these tracks, had I been the one to compile it. Many of Frank Zappa's tastiest tracks are missing from this. No ZOMBY WOOF? No PO-JAMA PEOPLE? No SON OF ORANGE COUNTY? Still gets 5 stars just for the fact that most of these songs are incredible. But there are tastier Zappa tracks than this one's menu offers.

    This is great CD to put in your CD player and go for a drive. Frank has his style of music and He does it great. Every song on this CD makes it worth buying and playing for somebody that has never heard Frank, s music before. It is very gold mix of what your mother would like. I have a lot of Frank, Zappa music and I call this a very good mix.

    I think this a pretty strong compilation... Sometimes is nice to get mix tape like from Zappa. Since he often doesn't have songs end and has them morph into the next song, its pretty impossible to make your own mix without it feeling and sounding jarring. So with professional edits, a commercial focus (mainly) and a good flow, it comes out nearly to me as classic. Some song flows here are masterful... however ... not a huge fan of "Titties & Beer" and "Cocaine Decisions". I could have come up with a large handful of super smash hits to take there place.

    I can't believe I haven't started listening to more of his music until now, thanks to this CD. Only song I really knew by him was Valley Girl in the 80's and I always liked it, guess I should have explored more back then! Fun, innovative stuff, and seems like a nice compilation of his music - as far as I can tell being that it's all new to me.

    You need your 'Best of" for every artist in order to move product, and as no definitive, CD-length compilation exists, this will do nicely. Buy it in bulk and give it out for the holidays to those who reject Frank without knowing too much about hiom, you could change some minds.

    I was after only one song. The rest of it I did not care for. A shame he didn't take it a little more serious and come up with better songs. He is talented.

    Loved it, perhaps a couple of superfluous instrumentals, just things I've grown tired of hearing, but it's a lovely eclectic selection of tracks, most of which I'll never tire of hearing.

    Reviewed in Australia on February 5, 2023
    I don't think any single disc compilation can ever really do the man justice.Having said that this compilation includes some great music and includes obvious "hits" like Peaches, Don't Eat The Yellow Snow, Cosmic Debris and Valley Girl as well as some deep cuts like Zoot Allures.An excellent introduction for the newbie fan.
