I just found out they're from 1966 or 1969. damn, why haven't I heard this before?

@MrProfessornutbutter Especially with a user name like that.

One of the most bizarrely listenable albums ever made. Part of me is terrrified of this music and part of me can't look away. You can probably guess which half is winning.

@ThePlatapus this isn't about being "weirder". It about creativity. Both band have their own creative flow that are great in their own right.

I love how you can tell the residents are musically genius because even though they don't apply conventional musical methods, they do employ their own conventions. It's reminds me of when I was in grade school I had a teacher who would give 105% to anyone who got a 0% on their test.

No, no, no, I meant to say Residents are far weirder then Primus.

And I dunno, I just see Primus as kind of a 90's novelty. But that's just me I guess :/

@ThePlatapus Well, to me the residents are a little weirder than primus, but both are great. Oh and primus is not a gimmick band.

>3 month old comment reply, oh well.

I really like both.

But I see Primus as more of a gimmik of the 90's. I like to jam to them and still have them on my iPod, and Claypool and Herb is one of the best musical combos ever.

But The Residents are so different from anyone else (maybe I haven't looked that hard) (not to say that Primus isn't different), but while I see Primus as a gimmik, I see The Residents as timeless.

I think I prefer The Residents over Primus, because Primus has more rock put into it. They're both good bands, its just The Residents seem more unique.

I think John Lennon provided the best translation of 'Avant Garde'. Shame he changed his mind afterward.
