Kiss My Aura, Dora
The pop culture is such a celebration of mediocrity lately that it is worth going back a little to what at least was interesting and surprising at one time and still retains some interest — emphatically not commercial pop culture. Frank Zappa makes the assumption that his audience is not a bunch of conventional nitwits; Zappa takes a level of sophistication for granted that is almost non-existent now, in pop culture's American-Idol-Land.
You can listen to Zappa's “Key Tracks” @ Rhapsody.com for free. Just search for Frank Zappa and choose “Key Tracks”.
