Best Songs on Frank Zappa's Hot Rats Album

Hot Rats was released in 1969 and is generally considered to be the first solo album by Frank Zappa, despite the album Lumpy Gravy coming out 2 years earlier.
The Top Ten
1 Peaches En Regalia

Despite the rest of the list being fairly interchangeable, as the others are all very high quality, this one is just that step above in terms of basically everything.

Both my favorite song from Frank Zappa and my favorite Frank Zappa guitar solo

2 Willie The Pimp

A unique song on the album for the fact that it's the only one to contain any vocals. Definitely a catchy song that deserves to be a fan favourite.

3 Son of Mr. Green Genes

I love this song for how upbeat and happy it sounds the entire way through, with some really nice guitar work mixed in.

4 The Gumbo Variations

While I don't find this song as enjoyable is some of the others, I can still appreciate the amount of technicality in it. It's still a fun song though.

5 Little Umbrellas

A nice short song that is just an all around fun listen.

6 It Must Be A Camel

The only song I feel isn't absolutely great, just because it feels slightly too long.
