Hell yeah, another Zappa match-off! And this time, I draw from two different bands that compete for the title of GOAT, the Mothers with 1970’s Burnt Weeny Sandwich against the Roxy Band with 1973’s Over-Nite Sensation. The latter only has seven tracks, so I’m cutting “Igor’s Boogie” from the former to even it out. So let’s kick it off….

1. “WPLJ” v “Camarillo Brillo”

Oh. Ooohhhhhh, this will hhuuurt. I love both so much, but going with “Camarillo Brillo”.

2. “Overture To A Holiday In Berlin” v “I’m The Slime”

I love, love “Overture”, but it’s easily “I’m The Slime”.

3. “Theme From Burnt Weeny Sandwich” v “Dirty Love”

Love “Dirty Love”, but going with “Theme”.

4. “Holiday In Berlin, Full Blown” v “Fifty Fifty”

Both great, but man, “Full Blown” has such a beautiful classical touch to it and God Do Ian and the Gardner Brothers shine so brightly on here, as foes Mr Arthur Tripp. “Fifty-Fifty” is nothing to sneeze at, but it has to be “Full Blown”.

5. “Aybe Sea” v “Zomby Woof”

“Aybe Sea” is a really cool track, but “Zomby Woof” is my favorite track on Over-Nite Sensation, that song, to me, has all the great ingredients of Zappa and that era of Zappa in particular. No contest, “Zomby Woof”.

So far, BWS has 2 and ONS has 3.

6. “The Little House I Used To Live In” v “Dinah Moe-Hum”

My favorite on BWS versus a track off ONS that I like a lot but is still one of my least favorites on there. Just for Sugarcane, I go with “Little House”.

7. “Valarie” v “Montana”

“Montana”. I don’t hate “Valarie”, but “Montana” is a Zappa classic.

So the winner is…..

Over-Nite Sensation wins 4-3.

This isn’t the end, so tune in for more!
