I thought the title said "Best ALBUM". As in ONE album. Lists of 20 albums kind of dilute the question, don't they? ;)
-
hellacopters hi visibility
-
I'm surprised walkonby didn't go with Ween's quebec.
-
great album . . . but one, does not define the era, and two, does not define them. call me odd, but I enjoy shinola.

wouldn't call you odd except that shinola is not an album

I was thinking of compiling a list of the albums and then we could have a vote of and come up with a board favorie.
-
Shinola is definitely a comp.
Are we all in agreement that La Cucaracha is hot poop (and not in the "brown" good way)?
-
Speaking of Ween...is anyone going to the Dean Ween show at the Otto bar?
Found my self with an extra that I'd happily offload for a few beers

personally I think Quebec is overrated..... they could do no wrong until that album.....
Cucaracha has problems but its worth the price just for Your Party (I think that is what it is called) which is a classic....
I never get the love for Quebec..compared to White Pepper or Mollusk or 12 Golden Country Greats or Chocolate and Cheese its nothing.
Ween should definitely have called it a day after Quebec if not White Pepper.....at that point they were done...

post car wreck, anti ween syndrome

Agree that White Pepper was the last solid top-to-bottom album but Quebec had quite a few gems on it. Guess "shame maker" and "Your Party" were pretty funny but the rest of LC is disposable IMO.
-
White Pepper was their last great album. There were a few good songs after, but there are only a few.
Now their live show during that period was still top notch
I caught them at the Fox in Oakland in 2011 and they melted my face so bad I had to go in for reconstructive surgery
Look at this set list Ween @ the Fox (http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/ween/2011/the-fox-theater-oakland-ca-33d2cc15.html)
I never thought I could enjoy a cover of let's dance...but that was really amazing and totally unexpected
I've seen Gene solo and really...it felt kinda sad. Like the way I feel at Zoo's or Strip clubs. Like...do you really want to be here... are you enjoying this?
Starting at C&C to WP they really made some incredible music
and hearing them live was always a treat, such a back catalog that they could play 3 hour sets and still not play 1/2 of my favorite songs
Really sad that I may never get Ween live again
people always wanted to call them mock-rock, but they really were so much more
They were their own genre

Gener is broke as a joke... I'd imagine they'll get back together one day. I agree with all of the above, one of the best rock shows around.
-
The last time I saw them was at Sonar. I was mostly bored. Finished on a high note with a blistering Mushroom Festival in Hell though.
It looks a lot better than it was on paper. (http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/ween/2007/sonar-baltimore-md-33d4883d.html)
-
The 930 shows in 04' and 05' were some of the best Ween sets I've ever seen.
-
Yes, yes they were.
04 especially.
-
the level of the live shows continued to be really high but I would say the very last few years the level dipped...
I was late to realize that Gener had developed such a problem with drugs.. there is some crazy youtube video of him losing it..
I had to trek for my last two shows at Dewey and Richmond....

I noticed on setlist.fm....no DC dates for a few years back...surprising since they lived close by and would always pack the 930

I never quite understood that either... I'm sure if you go back I was bugging in the "hey seth" thread to get them back in the club.
They played DAR in maybe 07' which was lame-o.
-
and i was sad in the end to miss ween at DAR even if it was lame;o
my DAR boycott was in operation
it seemed the last few years they tried on purpose to play newer different places..they seemed to leave their home base phillly-dc area sort of behind looking for newer places like colorado..
-
Can you blame them? Better beer scene, better hiking, and legal weed.

I ended up getting second row seats for like $10 so I came out of my retirement for that show... I haven't been back since.
-
I want to say that DAR was after the Sonar show. The combination of it taking place at DAR and the lackluster Sonar show caused me to skip it.
-
From Deaner's FB page...
John and Peter's Place tonight, a very special version of the Invitational----I'll just leave it at that. Doors at 9pm...................don't miss this one., trust me.
-
Some how this has become the ween chat room
I do like his new logo

Reunion show?
One-off at J&P's would be cool.
Full-on reunion, meh.
-
sorry to ask the obvious but where is john and peters?

New Hope...
The Dean Ween Group
Great gig last night at the bar------debut of the DWG basically, I'm listening to the tape of the show which was recorded back by the mix position and I can hear all of my friends commenting and critiquing our set, which is funny----it's all good commentary thank god. Baltimore better watch their asses. If you're a fan of screaming Stratocasters and Les Pauls then this is the band for you, it's about as much guitar as you can handle!

Not as much as Diarrhea Planet I bet.

Teeeheee

or Buildings. I believe they had 14 or 15 guitarists on stage. And this was at DC9!
-
That must have been a special show - I am pretty sure Buildings usually doesn't have that many guitarists.
-

Ween=worst band ever. Stupid lyrics and worse music. Well they aren't really the worst band ever. "Pushing Little Daisies" is a good song. But the rest is juvenile.
Anyway unless you want me to turn every post of your into a discussion of the Lumineers I would stop these evil ideas.

Awfully hard to have a discussion with yourself.
