The Shaggs
Three sisters from New Hampshire who couldn’t sing, couldn’t play, and put out an LP in 1969 where 90% of the copies disappeared before it was released, played for 5 years almost exclusively at an old-folks home in their hometown, yet somehow managed to inspire and influence everyone from Zappa to the Raincoats to Beat Happening and everyone in the d.i.y low-fi movement of the late 80′s/early 90′s. Some people think The Shaggs are the worst shit ever, and to those here’s my middle finger.
Shaggs – Philosophy Of The World
Shaggs – My Pal Foot Foot
Shaggs – Why Do I Feel
EDIT: I had to include my favorite Shaggs song on this post as well. Everything sounds so pure.. (-jp)
Shaggs – Love At First Sight
