ween



"Ween is a rock group formed in 1984 in New Hope, Pennsylvania, United States when Aaron Freeman andMickey Melchiondo Jr. met in a junior high school typing class. The pair became known as Gene and Dean Ween. Thousands of home recordings later, Ween collected a large underground fanbase despite being generally unknown in mainstream music circles aside from 1992 fluke hit “Push Th’ Little Daisies”.

Their earliest home recordings were anarchic and free-spirited, drawing on influences as far-reaching as Beatles, Queen, Prince, Butthole Surfers, The Residents and the movement. Ween was often compared in their early years to other offbeat artists such as Frank Zappa and would always eschew such comparisons."


My Rating For Both Albums: ★ ★ ★ ★

Quite a strange band. My old guitar teacher showed me these guys like two years ago during a lesson and I liked them.

Some of their songs are a little too "out there" for me, but some songs are amazing.

Favorite Track From "Chocolate And Cheese."

Favorite Track From "The Mollusk."
