Reply to comment by BarstoolsnDreamers in Hey, do you guys have any bands to obsess over? by MagicCookie4596

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.
