Editoral Review From crises of sexual identity to the rhythmically challenged, the songs are hilarious and occasionally close to home (The Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith didn't care much for "Jewish Princess"). One of his most popular and infamous albums, Sheik Yerbouti finds Frank Zappa unleashing his unique brand of sociological documentation on the disco-injected culture of the late '70s. The satire is some of Zappa's most scathing and unsympathetic, and the music is equally loud and unrelenting--especially when showcasing the talents of sidemen Terry Bozzio and Adrian Belew. A must-have in any Zappa collection. --Andrew Boscardin .. You can see a complete list of all Frank Zappa discography, or go back to the Frank Zappa tabs
