21.

1967-69 is the best era in music history as far as I'm concerned, there are simply too many classics to choose from, but my top 5 would be:
1. Fairport Convention - Liege And Leif
2. King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King
3. Cream - Disraeli Gears
4. The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground and Nico
5. Quicksilver Messenger Service - Happy Trails
6. Jefferson Airplane - Volunteers
7. Frank Zappa - Hot Rats
8. Neil Young - Everybody Knows This Is Knowhere
9. Country Joe And The Fish - Electric Music for the Mind and Body
10. Pink Floyd - A Sauceful Of Secrets
This is basically what some people call "proto metal". Now, this is not the name of a metal subgenre, but just a term that refers to bands that (without any premeditation that is) that shaped up heavy metal music.
There was a lot of psychedelic rock, heavy psych, blues-rock that lead to heavier sounds.
Little list (other bands)
Vanilla Fudge
Grand Funk Railroad
Mountain
Spooky Tooth
Gun
High Tide
Humble Pie
and a lot of short lived bands, I could mention a few if you want me to.
Nice list

Still going through the Zappa albums; quite a lot to digest lol.
Any other's you would recommend for someone just diving into his music?
Other jazz fusion rock bands similar to Frank Zappa from that era that I would recommend would be Captain Beefheart, Soft Machine, and early King Crimson, but I would highly recommend Santana the most, he was mostly early 70's, but began in the late 60's.

I believe Crème fraiche wants some Zappa albums recommendations.
Also Beefheart does not sound like Zappa. I would not dare recommend Beefheart to anyone...

Sorry I misread the question Hot Rats is my favourite Zappa album, but my other favourites of mine are Apostrophe ('), Over-nite sensation, and Sheik Yerbouti, which I would say are all good in a Zappa kind of way, so I guess I would recommend them.
As for Beefheart, I always thought he was partly jazz fusion, but I suppose his not really, so my bad, but I quite like some of his stuff though, extremely weired but funky.

Thanks dude, I appreciate the recommendations! Cheers guys!
Killer list dude! I've been listening to a lot of 60' 70's albums lately and this is just what I needed haha!
Just picked up Hot Rats on vinyl, wow what a cool jazzy-rock album! So much gold here to sift through!
Thank you buddy
After all this time I didn’t read your comment sorry… I can recommend you
Frank Zappa - Hot Rats
Frank Zappa - Apostrophe
Frank Zappa With The Mothers- Over-Nite sensation
Frank Zappa With The Mothers - Live at The Roxy and Elsewhere

The Who - I Can See for Miles was the heaviest thing around at hat time, Paul McCartney made Helter Skelter in a reaction to that, wanting to create something louder, heavier somehow. The Who song is better though (IMO obviously).
