Our dreams come true! It actually sounds more like an avant-garde 20th century classical composer like this. Thanks for sharing. I've actually grown to love that first Shaggs album.  -------------  https://rateyourmusic.com/~siLLy_puPPy |

Wow, that's impressive! I believe this is the performance from that reunion (My Pal Foot Foot starts at the 15:30 mark): ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

Looking at the time signatures reinforces the absolute genius of this group. Meshuggah should totally do a cover. ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow">  https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |

Why aren't the Shaggs on PA? I think the time signatures alone make them worthy candidates. At the very least they could be considered prog related or proto of some sort. Anyone agree? ------------- https://rateyourmusic.com/~siLLy_puPPy |

^I would be OK with their inclusion, but then again, I'm also for Scott Walker being here and I think he's been proposed multiple times in the past. I believe Frank Zappa once considered Philosophy of the World his third favorite album. As to who The Shaggs influenced, AllMusic (which you can take with a grain of salt) claims Deerhoof, John Zorn, and Frank Zappa have been. https://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-shaggs-mn0000418794/related" rel="nofollow - https://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-shaggs-mn0000418794/related I don't know if that's enough for prog related or not. Has the RIO/Avant-Prog team given any input on the Shaggs about the possibility in the past?
