Excellent beginner guide...perfect selection of songs - if I made a guide I probably would have added "Rain When I Die", because it's my favorite song by them, but otherwise this is spot on

I just noticed your intro to Ween, LP. When I saw those tracks I knew that an old-school fan was behind at least some of the list (good job, sidewinder). I used to be a huge fan but I stopped at White Pepper. Actually, I would love to see a comp of good stuff from post-White Pepper because I know some has got to be out there but there are just so many boring possibly-but-not-noticably-ironic songs to sit through to find them.

I listened to the Ween comp and i didn't realise they were THAT all over the place. I think i may be in the 'not my thing' crew, although You ****ed Up is a great breakup song!

A great idea for a thread. Looking forward to discovering more artists and great music.

sidewinder had nothing to do with my compilation, I just asked him what songs he'd choose and compare them to mine to get a sense of how much we differ on Ween, which as I found out was quite a lot :P

Oh - my mistake. Well, good job to you, then.

Yeah I was going to correct you as well, particularly if you were referring to the old songs, "You Fucked Up" being the oldest, because I didn't pick that one.

But I like it.
