Problem is, most places require the addition of at least one capital letter and one or two numbers. and I doubt that will change anytime soon.
You are directly reporting on the problem: due to the "rules" set up so long ago, rules that don't reflect a truly difficult means of password construction, we have to put things into passwords that do not make passwords more secure.
The policy-makers in IT at "Most places" have to change the requirements to reflect this truth.

Use the name of Frank Zappa songs and albums- easy to remember (if you're a fan)
That's pretty funny. "Hot Rats" is the only one that comes to mind offhand, but surely any sensible password detector would veer away from that! Something with Suzy Creamcheese in it also would not immediately be guessed.
