Years ago a friend introduced me to an album called The Mollusk by Ween and I was instantly blown away by the comical/mystical lyrics, backed by some truly epic melodic hooks and harmonies.  Since then I have explored all of their albums and they now have a 500+ play count in my itunes. Just wondered if there are any other Ween fans amid the GB community... 
For those who might be intrested in discovering this aural delight, may I suggest the following albums and tracks.. (note: the tracks below are from thier more recent work, which I find to be a little more coherent and listener friendly than their early material.)
  
Object - La Cucaracha  
Spirit Walker - La Cucaracha
Learning To Love - La Cucaracha 

The Argus-  Quebec 
If You Could Save Yourself - Quebec  
Transdermal Celebration - Quebec  
 
Even If You Don't - White Pepper 
Falling Out - White Pepper 
Back To Basom - White Pepper 
 
Ocean Man - The Mollusk 
The Mollusk - The Mollusk 
Buckingham Green - The Mollusk 
 
Just to get you started.... Enjoy

I love Ween but no...
 
The Beatles are the Beatles and Ween are two brother who write funny, clever, out there music.  
 
They are not groundbreaking.  The just are good enough.

Love Ween but I don't think they can be compared to the Beatles. Love Freedom of '76.

So what you're saying is that they're a hugely overrated band that plays boring and sleep inducing music?  
 
Man, and I thought hating on the Beatles alone was fun.

Weren't The Beatles kind of... you know... famous? Culturally significant? I've never even heard of Ween.
