Inspired by Steven Jay Schneider’s book “1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die”
# 1001
Artist: Frank Zappa
Title: You Are What You Is
Year: 1981
This Frank Zappa album is filled with progressive comedy rock, both the comedy and the rock is progressive.
The album is compiled by 20 shorter tracks all edited together and was originally released as a double record.
As with most of Zappa´s albums you get a lot of different styles of music mixed up and performed by excellent musicians.
I am not a very big on lyrics when it comes to music but on this album there are a lot of funny moments and great lyrics. Just take a look at some of these songtitles: “Harder Than Your Husband”, “Dumb All Over” and “Heavenly Bank Account”.
These albums are not presented in any particular order.



Thanks for the post. “You Are What You Is” has always been a Zappa favorite of mine and it doesn’t seem to get the press it deserves.
Thanks Louis!
Great that somebody actually read this post…
I can only agree with you that this is an overlooked album.
More records to come as you can see by the number on this one.
