Essential Ween
Ween will always have a special place in my music collection simply because they were the first band to get me off of crap like this:
Amusing as it is, I'm quite glad that I don't subject my ears to such nonsense anymore. Awhile back I posted a video for Ween's "Buckingham Green", one of my all-time favorites; that very live DVD performance being the first ever Boognish experience for me as well. It's been many Chocolate & Cheese and White Pepper filled years since that viewing and I've become quite familiar with the New Hope based band. Casual and intensive listeners alike have made their essential Ween playlists, choosing personal favorites from records or live performances. I've tried many a time to make my own but have always ended up with a twenty plus song playlist struggling to remove songs because there are so many greats. Now, this may not be the be all and end all of Ween essential lists for me, but, I can confidently say that it is supremely difficult to dispute any of the selections on the following ten song compilation. If you have a strong argument, please, leave it in the comments section and we'll have a little discussion about it. Here we go:
1. Don't Laugh (I Love You) from God Ween Satan: The Oneness
Ween's first two albums are not for the faint of heart. Dark and disturbed but filled with short gems, these are my least listened to of their albums. Most Ween fanatics would use that statement as fodder for an argument against my expertise on the Ween discography, but the simple fact is that I'm partial to the band's later work on albums like Chocolate and Cheese and The Mollusk.
2. Demon Sweat from The Pod
3. Don't Get 2 Close (2 My Fantasy) from Pure Guava
4. Buenas Tardes Amigo from Chocolate and Cheese
5. I'm Holding You from 12 Golden Country Greats
6. Buckingham Green from The Mollusk
7. Exactly Where I'm At from White Pepper
8. Transdermal Celebration from Quebec
9. Gabrielle from Shinola Volume 1
10. Your Party from La Cucaracha
