    For all of his many attributes, one thing Frank Zappa most certainly was not is commercial. Presumably, the title of this collection is ironic. Strictly Commercial: The Best of Frank Zappa is a compilation not of the composer's hits -- he only broke the Top 40 on one occasion, with "Valley Girl" -- but rather, a collection of his best-known material, from "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow" to "Sexual Harassment in the Workplace." Zappa's albums often function as individual works, but this disc offers an intelligent selection of songs, serving as an introduction to the maverick musician.

apparently, my hankering for electric guitar sounds continues, which is okay because there's nothing quite like an electric guitar in the hands of a master (male or female). I listened to a whole lotta music last night (when Mozilla crashed and I couldn't post) and today at work, but this selection is the one that stuck with me. Frank Zappa, gone way way too soon.
