Last night, listening the the Residents' "Commercial Album" (40 one-minute songs) for the first time in a while, I tried to think of a current artist or group for whom this format would be well suited.
I wasn't satisfied with any of my suggestions.

What'd'ya think?

....and just to make it more challenging, the album is to include vocal tracks as well as instrumentals.

Anything I say after Dave's answer will be wrong.
