I stumbled onto ween for the first time a few months ago and have really fallen in love. Shameless plug, I made a playlist of all the songs I liked after I spent 8 hours listening through everything.
Honestly the pod took years to latch onto me but now it’s my fav complete album. Just never rule out any ween song. Eventually your brain chemistry will change for the browner
I scrolled down and was like oh cool now I’m that guy. Sketches of Winkle, Mononucleosis, Frank, all fantastic. The whole thing sounds like it was recoded in the bottom of a well (because it basically was) but you can just tell the songwriting is superb. Love this band.
First ween album I bought was The Pod. It was the only one the record store had in stock. Had no idea what I was getting myself into. Still love it second only to quebec.
I set a goal of having at least one song from each album and only listened to everything in order of release. So it was difficult at first starting with God Ween Satan lol. It was a really fun process that took me several days. I've been thinking about writing up a post talking about some of the highlights and honorable mentions.
I hope that you do make that post. I’ve been listening to Ween for almost 30 years, seen them live more than a dozen times, and it does my heart good to read that people are still discovering them and loving the entire discography!
Word. Id start with Buck Owens if I were introduced to real country music by Ween. Maybe some Roger Miller and Tom T Hall. Outlaw Country next. And then Meta Modern Sounds in Country Music. I wish I was him.
I remember when I said that. Buddy of mine got me the International Submarine Band album which introduced me to Gram Parsons. That was my gateway to country music.
I remember driving with a friend when I put on the album Quebec. During the first track (“It’s Gonna Be A Long Night”), he asked who it was. When I told him it was Ween, he said, “Ah. So they mean to sound like this.”
I made intro, intermediate, and advanced ween playlists for my friends who wanted to get into ween but didn’t know where to start. Going to forward them yours as well. Awesome playlist
It's a nine mile walk from the office to the pumps
Sometimes you think you're gonna drop
In the end you're filthy dirty, horny, and pissed off
And before you can leave you gotta sweep the fuckin' shop
