Philosophy of the World by The Shaggs is the greatest album ever.

I agree. Even if you ignore the band's incredible back story, the songs on the album have an incredible purity to them. It's 100% free of any contrivance or cliche.

 

It's been a while since I listened to it, but I think it's My Friend's Name its Foot-Foot that becomes an awesome piece of psychedelic rock if you have two YouTube Windows playing at the same time, a few seconds out of synch with each other.

 

Frank Zappa said they were better than The Beatles.

How did you manage that? Did you detune for it into, well, whatever tuning they seem to have?

The title track and 'Who Are Parents?' are super-catchy. One of Kurt Cobain's top 5 albums ever I believe.

That makes me like them less tbh... and I love The Shaggs. One of those weird things I'm so happy exists, like Pat Boone's Metal album.

I once bought the CD as a birthday gift for a friend. It actually made her like me more.  :duh:
