    i dig 'em. i've only got chocolate and cheese, though. but i love almost every song on that album. joppa road is my favorite, followed closely by roses are free.

    P.S.
    Do a little research and listen to as much Ween as possible before you pass judgement. They're all over the place (in a very good way).

    Virtually unknown over here in the UK but huge in the US from what I can tell.

    I really like a lot of their stuff although its pretty entropic at times. Can't get Freedom of 76 outa my head right now!

    I wouldn't say "huge" but they have their following. Great, great band. If you people have a chance to catch them live you will succumb.

    Push The Lil Daisies is still one of the most bizzare songs i've ever heard... i never understood it as a kid - yet it'd be constantly stuck in my head... :D

    The song is essentially about nipples. Maybe you like nipples?

    I can't get their goddamn ordering system to work. I spent a half hour trying to put an order through. Fucking shit.

    It's only this board where people's feelings get hurt so easily.

    Ween's ok. Just now getting into it. The fans are pretty interesting characters.

    It's getting easier and easier to get into them with their growing wealth of amazing studio material. Back in the day it was near impossible unless you caught them live.

    I would say definitely pick up the live in chicago DVD... great place to start

    White Pepper proved that they are amazing songwriters. Not that they had to prove anything!
    Whoa, chill bro... you know you can't raise your voice like that when the lion's here.

    I'm still trying to figure out how many albums they have. Which would you say is their best cd so far?

    At first like a lot of people I hated the old albums and only really knew Baby Bitch and Voodoo Lady and those were the only good songs I thought they had.. then eventually I found White Pepper and was really shocked at how good it was.... this made me see them at Vegoose... which led to me finding the song "Gabrielle" which came out around then.. then I got an account on browntracker.net and started collecting their dvds... after hearing a lot of the old stuff live I grew to really love Pure Guava and The Pod!

    I would say start with White Pepper and the live in chicago DVD... then try out Chocolate and Cheese and The Mollusk.. their last album Quebec is a touch more serious but in a good way.. it proves they are more than just Comedy Rock like say Tenacious D or something... although their drinking anthems (Booze me up and get me high, Blarney Stone) are hilarious but classics at the same time and could easily be huge huge songs if they wanted them to be (actually putting booze me up on an album lol).

    They have been writing a lot and I have a good feeling about their LP coming out later this year... oh and if you have the chance definitely see them live!!

    done preaching... if you listen with an open mind and absorb their style (they tend to tackle every genre and own it...) i think you'll really end up liking them

    I'd like to think that I'm pretty open minded about music. I'm always up for something new. I've noticed that it's not so easy to just walk into a store and find one of their cds. Should I just order online? I do have Quebec already, Chocolate and cheese (i think that's what it's called) already..just got them...and pure Guava is it? I think I have all those 3. I was planning on getting the Mollusk..and from what JWBusher says I should definitely get that one. :)
    I can find the DVDs for them on their website right? I've tried looking at their website but I always end up getting very confused and just give up. If you could explain browntracker (what is it?) I'd appreciate that.
    I actually did get to see them live...last week actually. They were good live which leads me to look into them a bit further.

    Insightful, inspiring, motivational, thought provoking...I wish I penned this one myself:

    Fluffy, furry buddy
    Chewed his leg on the porch
    Why'd you do it Fluffy, on the porch?

    Good dog Fluffy, old friend my pal
    Fluffy's got his buddy on the porch
    Penny, she's my girlie, she sits here with me on the porch
    Penny looks so pretty on the porch

    Penny takes Fluffy for a walk out on the path
    Fluffy chases the other doggies on the path
    But big sister Penny get Fluffy back on the porch
    So me and Fluffy and Penny were on the porch
    drive less - RIDE MORE!
