Just saw "Freeman" at the FPSF in houston. It's not the same without the whole band. Ween is one of my favorite bands of all time. I've seen them in numerous cities over the last 20 years. It's hard to do an album ranking as most of them are so different from one another as the band evolved. But generally I like the newer stuff over the early years. I read a making of the Chocolate and Cheese book a few years ago. Pretty cool stuff.
1. The Mollusk
2. 12 Country Golden Greats (only ten songs)
3. Chocolate and Cheese
4. Quebec
5. Pure Guava
6. La Cucaracha
7. Shinola
8. The Pod
9. GWS

I didn't include any live albums, but live in chicago is the best. And the DVD is classic.

His new album is great as well. Listen to it if you haven't already.

Can someone here rank the Ween albums?

That's like asking "what's 1,000,000 x 1,000,000?"

It's an impossible question to answer.

Completely disagree, i think live in chi is 4th best. shite creek, request and paiting are all better imo. But then again, it's splitting hairs, all ween is amazing.

It makes me so happy that the rest of the band supports deaner and still plays with him.

Ill never listen to a "freeman" album.

if it wasn't for Phish's Roses Are Free, I wouldn't know who Ween was. Also, the original version is terrible.

Bananas and Blow is a fun song I guess

don't let it ruin your day.....

enjoy your little band though. I'm sure they'll be back playing in a bar around you in no time.

My friend in high school used to love them and would try to get me to listen to them all the time. Emphasis on the word try.
