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
