Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted April 1, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted April 1, 2016 Really hard to find a way to argue with that, and I don't know why you'd want to. Post of the year contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nostalgia Nonce Posted April 1, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted April 1, 2016 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. Â 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. Â Frank Zappa said they were better than The Beatles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkship Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 The title track and 'Who Are Parents?' are super-catchy. One of Kurt Cobain's top 5 albums ever I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members eugenespeed Posted April 5, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted April 5, 2016 I am ashamed to have not heard this before. Brilliant stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stunner Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I once bought the CD as a birthday gift for a friend. It actually made her like me more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
