I need a 48 hour crash course on Ween.

Ween are playing here on Saturday night. They are one of those bands that a lot of people really seem to like. However, I've never really listened to them. Like, not even a little bit. I couldn't name a single song title of theirs if you paid me.

From what I've been told, though, they rarely come here, and there's nothing that I hate more than missing a chance to see a band play that I'm not really into, only to "discover" them after the fact. So, good songs? Albums? I am an iTunes Music Store addict, so don't worry, there's no piracy going on on this end.

baby bitch is my favorite ween song. Quebec is a good album. that's all i got, im not all that well versed myself.

I suggest Limewiring a bunch and just listen to it and see what you like. They're not a band for everyone to be sure.

Added to say: Or just iTune it as per your post

Do massive amounts of nitrous oxide.

Now you're speaking my language.

AIDS has always been my friends' favorite. I don't listen to much Ween though.

OK-first off here is a link for the entire:


album....if you like the eccentric go backwards...and if you like the muscular-go forwards in the discography....
Chocolate & Cheese
Ween is by far a gem on the cheap pimple ridden ass of American RAwk....

The country album is great.

definitly get chocolate and cheese. it has one of their greatest songs, spinal meningitis. come on, who else can write the words "smile on mighty jesus, spinal meningitis got me down". sheer genius. also definitly check out white pepper. that's the one that really got me into them. it's like their version of the sixties music (beetles/beachboys/pink floyd). listen to this one while on mushrooms......or acid.....preferably shrooms.

"spinal meningjesus"..

I know what you mean..I was recommended them awhile back..but I have heard or I recall seeing them described as quite experimental..extreme at times too..Patton-ish possibly..which I love Patton in FNM..some Bungle..but gets to be hit and miss for me often.

But yer right..I have done that a few times and it sucks when you miss a chance to see a band you later love.

Songs I'd recomend: I'll Miss You, Freedom of '76, Voodoo Lady, Transdermal Celebration, Chocolate Town, The Argus, The Mollusk, Bananas & Blow, Stay Forever.

That's all I can do for you.

White Pepper, 12 Golden Country Greats [featuring genuine Ryman auditorium types], and the Mollusk are all great Ween albums.

you know, we even have a group.

Paint the Town Brown.

"spinal meningitus" is one of the most fucked up songs ever:

"it really hurts mommy, am i gonna die?"

"AIDS", on the other hand, is one of the most retarded (in a good way) songs ever.

and they are both on the same album. brilliant!

and i'm sorry, but anyone that doesn't sniker when they sing the line "mr. richard smoker, you're a poopy poker" on "12 Golden Country Greats" needs an enema, or something

Just go to weenradio.com and listen.

you mean scotch guard.

when i saw them, they just sat on the edge of the stage and made noises. i think. i mean... that's what i heard.
