Zappa heeft veel nummers in verschillende uitvoeringen uitgebracht. Een ieder mag zijn eigen favoriete versie in de plaats van de door mij genomineerde denken.
Verder heb ik alleen The World's Greatest Sinner gecontroleerd op beschikbaarheid op YouTube.
Ik loop dadelijk de lijst nog een keer langs en ga dan loten.

Ik zie alvast een foutje. Drafted Again bij You Are What You Is hoort er niet op te staan.

En ik maar denken dat IK niet kon kiezen

Volgens mij is er ruimte voor 1 extra nummer. Deze zat bij mij op de wip en voeg ik dus toe:
