Ween

The kind of people who make ridiculous, near-gibberish pop like Ween's "Push Th' Little Daisies" aren't supposed to have actual songwriting talent, vocal range, or reserves of convincing tenderness, but Ween somehow has all that. Though some fans complain that the band's live show has become too jammy in recent years, it's just more evidence that "brothers" Dean and Gene Ween have a ton of stylistic tricks to draw on, from the solid genre exercise 12 Country Golden Greats to the jolly screwball ramblings of The Mollusk to their last studio album, 2007's typically all-over-the-place La Cucaracha. Even as their songs have retained an air of goofball mischief over the years, Ween always provides a reason to love them genuinely.
