    i thought of another but it depends on how much you like frank zappa, but it fits to a tee for me

    Ship Arriving Too Late To Save A Drowning Witch had Zappa’s ONLY top 40 hit ever, and is also a great album. But I’m a huge Zappa fan so YMMV

      Zappa has always been tough for me. His stuff is so out there and so complex, you gotta actively listen to it like a hundred times before you can even scratch the surface of understanding it.

      The guy was definitely a generational musical genius.

      Found one that’s close.

      Oingo Boingo had Weird Science chart at 45 on Dead Man’s Party.

      They’re admittedly an acquired taste, but if you were in southern California in the eighties, they were… How do I state this? Foundational.
