IMHO Shut up and play yer guitar, Jazz from Hell, and Zoot Allures were the most serious Zappa albums i've listen up to the moment.

Yes. Now that you mention it, Miss Pinky is probably the height of the Maestro's work. Ensemble Modern should do a version in 13/4 time at 340 beats per minute with an extended glissando. And right after the "$69.95, boy/Give her a try" line they could throw in a little Big Swifty done as a country western shuffle before launching in to the Pinky finale.

I think you just described Zappa's arranging method for the 1988 tour.

I would say LSO I and II are better, but YS is #2

Picked up The Yellow Shark a few months ago, liked it. Will keep an eye out for LSO next. Thanks for the input, folks!

Perhaps I was too broad, all of his music is serious yes. I meant his orchestral work, which he himself described as "serious music", so I decided to go with that term.
