How did you discover Frank Zappa?

Two of my friends in high school were really into Frank. I recall once while working one of my first jobs, my friend Doug puts Tinseltown Rebellion into the jam box while we're cleaning up a ballroom after a big event. I kind of listened, and thought it was interesting, but didn't go out and buy some Zappa right after that. Later in college I recalled some of Frank's music and decided to get some. Acquiring Sheik Yerbouti was the result of that, and I can say my musical mind has been changed ever since.
