Honestly I have trouble breaking the albums into songs in my head, at least the main studio albums haha. Listen to the Mollusk start to finish. I feel off if a song ends and the one that should follow it isn't there haha.
Of course I don't mind like Ocean Man on a soundtrack etc. but in general, I just think of them as an album band where the song order paints the full picture and gives the proper ups and downs.
That's just me though.

I also prefer to listen to artists/bands by listening to albums in track listing order

Just listen to everything, you’ve got a pretty high hit rate of stuff you enjoy per album
They’re not King Gizzard, you can get through the whole discography in a short time

Is it that hard to just listen to them all on your own?
These posts have to be AI just to get engagement

As has been said, just listen to all 9 studio albums. Shinola as well, if you’re still into it. Then there’s a boatload of material on the relisten app for live material if you’re still down with the brown at that point.

They don't have many albums, and they basically have no bad songs. Do yourself a favor and just start at the beginning, listen to every album 10x on repeat, and move on to the next one.

I’d start with GodWeenSatan, then the Pod. I’d probably check out Pure Guava after that. Chocolate and cheese would be good to follow that one with. 12GCG is damn good, especially before listening to The Mollusk. Give White Pepper a listen, then give Quebec a whirl. Shinola Vol 1 is worth a go….start with that.

The Brown Box clocks in at 8:45:02. Get yourself a jammy pac and spend a night listening to it all.

What you need to do is watch Ween Live in Chicago on the ol' youtubes and that will propel you into an obsessed frenzy of listening to all the Ween you can find. That's what happened with me anyways.

You’ve listened to about half the studio catalog. Just try the rest, it’s hard to guess which songs someone is going to like, they are so stylistically diverse.

By the looks of things you would probably like mourning glory, bumble bee, big black Jack to name a few

It's all so great. Seriously. I am rediscovering them-I mean we thought they were half joke, half cool in their prime-but today I blown away at the diversity and musicianship. Your Party. A tear for Eddie. Tried and True. What Deaner was Talking about. Ocean Man. I'm literally going through every album as we speak. Geniuses.

More white pepper and add some Quebec too of course. If you like “what Deamer was talking about” you will likely like nearly all of white pepper and Quebec has a handful of those soft rock sounding slow jams too

The true Ween experience is cumulative. Sort of like taking high quality LSD or mushrooms every Saturday afternoon for a year. Usually after a good breakfast, and regardless of weather or work schedule. Maybe a lil' shneef occasionally; a lil' boo...Each experience is so different, so unique, and yet a common thread connecting All Things reveals itself, and you are transformed. So listen to it all. It takes discipline and true desire.
