Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention

Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention were a rock band who emerged in the seventies. Their work ranged from new wave to jazz to experimental. With and without the Mothers, Zappa had numerous hit albums, two of them going gold. Valley Girl, done with his daughter Moon for the film, was a hit single. Zappa was inducted alone into the Hall. However, many of his successful albums were with the Mothers, so they should have been included. One of those albums went gold. Zappa performed on Saturday Night Live.
