All studio albums from the great absurdist group Ween. I'm not even sure how to explain these guys to someone who has never heard them. Lots of genre mixing, lyrics that are often funny/juvenile (except when they're not), a really "fucked up" sound (the band describes it as "brown"), tripped out guitars, vocals that go from sounding like a Grammy-award winner to a child sucking on helium, and yet somehow this is one of the most straight up fun bands I've ever heard.

The whole principle and ethic of what we do is...we're trying to entertain ourselves. That's it. And we don't really care so much about other people. But the way it works is if you're having a good time and you're being honest, then it just transcends all that and people will dig it. - Mickey "Dean Ween" Melchiondo

If anybody has some live Ween albums in FLAC I'd love to add those to this post. Let me know!

Contents:

• 1990 - GodWeenSatan: The Oneness
• 2001 - GodWeenSatan: The Oneness "25th Anniversary" Rerelease (w/bonus tracks and improved sound)
• 1991 - The Pod
• 1992 - Pure Guava
• 1994 - Chocolate and Cheese
• 1996 - 12 Golden Country Greats
• 1997 - The Mollusk
• 2000 - White Pepper
• 2003 - Quebec
• 2005 - Shinola, Vol. 1
• 2007 - La Cucaracha

If you've never heard the band before I'd suggest starting off with Chocolate and Cheese (probably the best mix of Ween's various sounds) or The Mollusk (Dean Ween's personal favorite of their albums).
