He's called Dadawah or Ras Michael. His mother called him Michael George Henry. A true Rastafarian, his second album is called Peace and Love.

Peace & Love by Dadawah, nominated by Hayden.
Frank Zappa's solo album's Billboard's ranking was 10th. It's Zappa's discography's highest chartingm and it's not done with Frank's usual band, called, I believe, Invention's Mothers. The album's name's Apostrophe (').

I love Zappa and Apostrophe was one of my first LPs ever but Peace & Love is as grand as its title! A spiritual experience indeed...

Peace & Love is a religious experience. Literally.
Apostrophe is an assault on my comic sensibility. I don't find prog nearly as mastubatory as an album like this. The playing and production is top notch, but it is soooo goofy & juvenile that I just find it mostly annoying. I'd say that comedy and music just don't work 90% of the time with Ween & They Might Be Giants being the obvious exceptions to the rule.
Peace & Love. The easiest decision yet.

Dadawah's album left me feeling awkward, like I'd stumbled on a religious service of an unfamiliar religion. You want to be respectful, but you want to be careful not to drink the kool-aid.
Zappa's albums continue to impress me. He's the funniest rock star of all time, unless you consider Weird Al to be a rock star, in which case he's the second funniest.
\Vote to the punctuation mark. (Now that's a sentence I never thought I'd write.)

Yeah, sometimes Zappa's stuff annoys me but he's such a gifted a musician. P&L is too great to pass on, but I still liked Apostrophe.

Haha! I feel the same way. I full on love his Mothers of Invention stuff from the late 60s/early 70s and his first solo album - Hot Rats.
So it's not for nothing that his late 70s instrumental albums were entitled SHUT THE FUCK UP & play the guitar. LOL.[/i]
