A to Z challenge: One size fits "O"


I have done really good about not using any of the stupid title names I came up with that almost matched the albums.  I really really did my best to not use them cause they were horrible.  This one was too good to pass up though.

One Size Fits All is a wonderful album by Frank Zappa.  Zappa was a very interesting fellow with a lot of strange life philosophies.  He was also an amazingly talented off the wall musician who made a lot of weird sounds, put them together, and tossed a weird rambling story over top of it.

Tracks off of this album to note are:

Inca Roads
Can't Afford No Shoes
San Ber'dino
Andy

 

If you want to get specific it was Zappa with his band "The Mothers Of Invention".  Just  throwing that out there.  Like the song, "Smoke On The Water"?  That line that says "Frank Zappa & The Mothers" is talking about this guy.

    1. Why thank you! Music is a reasonably strong passion of mine, and it helps that my mom and dad exposed me to a wide variety of music when I was younger.

      Thanks for coming back!

  2. Really, who else's house is going to have Cannibal Corpse playing in one room, Taylor Swift in another, Caravan Palace downstairs and Kari Jobe upstairs? All with ambient live guitar music coming from the living room. Be thankful we hated Barney while you kids were young.
