A Game Picked for Every Major Ween Album in their Discography
Ween is an American rock band from New Hope, Pennsylvania, formed in 1984 by Aaron Freeman and Mickey Melchiondo, better known by their respective stage names, Gene and Dean Ween. Generally categorized as an alternative rock band, the band are known for their irreverent, highly eclectic catalog of songs inspired by funk, soul, country, gospel, prog, psychedelia, R&B, heavy metal, and punk rock. You may know them most prominently for their contributions to the show SpongeBob SquarePants, specifically the "Loop-de-loop and Pull" song and the implementation of their smash hit "Ocean Man" at the end of the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. They're also known for some hit radio songs such as "Push Th' Little Daisies" which was very popular in Australia, New Zealand, and the US.
Ween was responsible for coining the term "Brown" for their music, as an indicator of how non-sensible and incoherent a particular song was. For example, their song "If You Could Save Yourself" from the album Quebec is very similar to Pink Floyd's style of music, and as such is not very brown at all. In stark contrast, their song "Carne Asada" from their album The Pod, is just a recitation of a customer's order from El Taco Loco put to music, making it a very brown song.
Ween is probably my favorite band ever, so I thought this might be fun and a neat challenge for me, who knows I might do this with other bands. Just my personal choices of course I'm sure other lists would look differently.
Keep in mind that I have not played every game on this list, even if I may have done significant research on the ones I've missed. I did this to increase the variety and accuracy of this list, however if I screwed up any details about the games, don't hesitate to let me know and I'll make any changes needed.
Also watch out for spoilers on games you haven't played yet!
(I will update this as I may listen to the demo tapes I've not touched yet, as well as Shinola Vol. 1)
