And Ween.

Lately I’ve been really feeling Bobby Rush, Waylon Jennings, and Young Dolph.

Billy Strings, Elvis Presley, and Talking Heads are also options.

Hell I could go on for days.

It’s so weird to me to see Ween brought up in the same comment thread as Grateful Dead and Herbie Hancock

I know it’s because Phish covered Roses Are Free and that exposed Ween to a whole new audience

But frankly, Ween deserve their own comment thread, they’re one of the best. Weird fuckers who write goofy songs but are also really skilled musicians with a phenomenal band.

It has nothing to do with Phish. I also brought up Waylon Jennings, Tool, and Young Dolph. Maybe I just have eclectic taste?

Ween has a great catalog.

For the record, while I did recommend Phish due to the nature of the thread(bands to obsess over), they aren’t a band I frequently listen to. A lot of people obsess over them though. Every other artist I listed gets frequent airtime at my house.

TBF Ween has been on the jam band festival circuit for decades.
