For those without comedic tastes, the so-called experts at Wikipedia have an article about Frank Zappa discography.

It should be noted that this is a MASSIVE list, as Zappa typically released about 365 albums a year. However, these are the 'big ones' that everybody owns. Do not read if you have not taken proper safety measures. This is your last warning.
