I guess you missed out on Frank Zappa and the Mothers. Zappa's debut album came out when I was 5 years old, in 1966. He was known for his complete, total, utter irreverence, avant-garde style of lyric poetry, and - oddly enough - playing a bicycle as a musical instrument as his very first televised performance on the Steve Allen Show in 1963. His shows contained a generous amount of vulgarity, occasional screaming, and random drum-beats that didn't coordinate with any particular tempo. He was also a musical genius and a fan of Igor Stravinsky.
We have choices in life. We can live with expanding minds, or we can die in myopia.
