Cover of Joe's Garage (1979)
Joe's Garage is a 1979 triple LP by Frank Zappa, featuring such memorably offensive tunes as "Catholic Girls," a sequel to "Jewish Princess." The major themes of the album (which Frank's libretto says should be performed as a bad school play) include groupie migration, mocking Scientology, robot appliance sex, garage bands, and above all censorship of music as an artform (eerily predicting the PMRC).
