Frank Zappa had a lot to do with that also......When he found out that his next album (back in the day, can't remember which album) had to have the explicit lyrics sticker put on it, he intentionally released an instrumental album. I believe that is the only instrumental album to ever have the explicit lyrics sticker on it without any lyrics being on the album.
