Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Does anyone but me find it disturbing that they made a second album?

I like this comment posted after the first song:

"I enjoy the Shaggs...on occasion.
While on tour with one of my bands, i played a tape of the Shaggs on the bus as we motored down the highway. The resulting argument was nearly cause for physical confrontation between the drummer and a guitarist who also appreciated the Shaggs.
This eventually caused the break up of said band.
The Shaggs broke up my band.
True Story."

I believe it.  :D

If you can mentally block out the drumming (as the girls singing and playing guitar obviously do), it's kind of interesting.

The funny thing is that, while I don't remember the songs, I remember the name of the group from back then. :(

I like it.

It surely doesn't rank among "the worst".

Well, it sure beats Europe.  Or Journey.  Or Rush.  Or the rest of the soundtrack to Hot Rod. 


BTW, you're a pansy, unless you mashed all the links at the same time, and listened manfully to the resulting cacophony.

OK, honestly, it's not much worse than listening singly. :laugh:

Never mind.  Don't do this.  For the love of Gene, it almost drove me sane.

Surely you jest!  Rush is about as good as it gets... their music, that is.

As for their ugly mugs?  I can't help but wonder what the hell they were thinking....

SHAZAM!

How about the effeminate vocals?  Seriously, why was androgyny so hot in the eighties?

I listened to them again.
I like The Shaggs.

Niel Schon (at age 14) and Greg Rolie were an integral part of early Santana's improvisational genius (Nothing to Depend On, T Puente's Oyo Como Va,  Everybody's Everything, etc.).  Journey's early fusion efforts showed some promise, but unlike their dung-beetle come spaceship album covers, the concept never took off.  Hiring Steve Perry locked their fate as top-40 rockers that took themselves way too seriously.
The musicianship was generally spot on, the singer had range, the songs were fair, encouragements good, but the sum of the parts never lived up to the hype.
Sure, Journey was, and may still be commercially palatable, but so was a lot of other overproduced Hostess-Twinkie bullshat.

The Shaggs had no pretense other than to make their grandmother's premonition come true.  
That we are here 40 years later discussing and listening to the songs is proof of their success.

That's like saying you're going to set the world land speed record and because you died and crashed so spectacularly that you were in history books for hundreds of years that you were successful.

World land speed record is a definite, measurable, objective.

Music is art, like it or not.  Longevity is but one measure.  
Beauty (success) is in the ear of the beholder.
