I've never heard Yann Tomita. But between the others it's Faust, easily. No contest, really - although I do sometimes enjoy the first couple of Ween albums.

Faust by an enormous distance. Wait, I don't know who Yann Tomita is. I was thinking of the Japanese Walter Carlos but it must be someone else. Still, ignoring Tomita, it's insulting that Faust would even be mentioned alongside this other crap.

I used to own a Weird Al album, so I can state that he is not really that funny. Let's face it people - Ween used to do much more cracked and brilliant parodies than Weird Al could ever be capable of. Compare one "LET ME LICK YOUR PUSSY" to any Prince parody that Weird Al ever did or could possibly do.

Face it, at least Weird Al doesn't PRETEND not to make music for 12-year-olds. His fans don't fool themselves into thinking his shtick qualifies as some major musical innovation. That puts him several rungs above Ween right there.

― o.e.d., Sunday, 10 April 2005 17:16 (twenty years ago)

I'm going to pull the Devo card.

No less than Mark Mothersbaugh admits Weird Al's superiority,
and not in some mock ironic post-devo way either.

That said, Devo wasn't that great but I will stake odds on them

Ween is a parody band, and is not a parody band. They are just too imaginative and cross far too many lines.

I've never heard Faust or Yann Tomita.

I'm kind of curious where this notion that Mr. Bungle is a "joke band" comes from. I suppose this observation is based on having heard the song about fucking Betty Crocker from back in 1991. GET ONE CALIFORNIA.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 11 April 2005 13:15 (twenty years ago)

I do find it interesting though that, with discussions of Ween and Bungle in particular, there seems to always be a fairly visible amount of condescending sentiments towards those who listen to them.

I think the central thing to Ween's "thing" they do, honestly, has much less to do with irony and satire as it does as attempting to blur the lines between satire and sincerity.

Also: I like Ween the most when they are being sentimental and not-jokey, to be frank. "Cold Blows The Wind" I listen to far more often than "Piss Up A Rope".

One time I heard "Japanese Cowboy" though at an honest-to-God shit-kickin' saloon. I'm not sure the DJ really knew what he was doing, but holy shit was it funny seeing people do some boot-scootin'-boogie to "like a Japanese cowboy/like a brother in skates".

This thread is frustrating. I think I will go away for awhile now.
