    hmm... Freak Out

    Love pretty much everything up to the departure of Flo and Eddie. Some great albums after that though, I just prefer the older sounding stuff.

    Burnt Weeny Sandwich is my favourite album by anyone ever, so that gets the number 1 spot.
    After that it becomes impossible, because I love all of Franks albums and there's just too many to choose from.
