Zappa is the best.
O’Hern, Estrada, Fowler, Thunes et all... Echidna’s Arf, The Purple Lagoon, Approximate, Inca Roads. Makes you want to want to give up and play the recorder ... or practice till your fingers bleed. Either way some of that stuff will leave you slacked jawed and shaking your head with wonder.
Ok, I have said my bit.

it's music... an ART form. Taste and Preference and all things Subjective.
that said, Zappa ain't a bassist so lets play this game in Misc.
I can think of about 300 or so discs I put in my player before Zappa... great stuff, but not my bag. |

And there is no 'V's' element there at all - its about a band leader, his music and some of the great bass players who have worked with him: O’Hern, Estrada, Fowler, Thunes et all. |

And I think Scott Thunes is highly under-rated. One of my favorite things to do in my high school days, was to get people to leave my parties, throw a little Frank on and the crowd would clear out.
Of course except for a few diehard friends.
Think about all the tremendous players that have graduated the FZ music school.
