Zappa, Frank Frank Zappa Meets The Mothers Of Prevention 1985
Grab a list from anywhere - but stick with your first picks - i.e. - you land on "hold a chicken between your knees" you gotta hold a chicken between your knees. (Hence Enoch Light +the Light Brigade, which I picked up by the side of the road.)

Are there fewer artists starting with "I" or with "Q" ? I haven't got shit that starts with I, nor can I think of many.
