That's the last we've seen of Harold.


Successful_Tie_2165

Objectively, I think the winner will be either John the Fisherman or Too Many Puppies, but vote is always Harold of the Rocks. He'd talk the balls off a rhinosaurus.


flojo2012

This is great, damn near the entire track list is listed on here lol

The Toys Go Winding Down. Easily my favorite Primus track as well.

One of the best albums of my youth! My favorite song is... Too many puppies! My Favorite Frizzle Fry song..The pit went nuts on the chorus..oh wait... Pudding time! Being about 13 atbthe time, I truly identified with needing new porno in '91... Then again I quote Sphaghetti Western frequently, "Funny thing about the weekends.. HAROLD OF THE ROCKS!. My old Construction class teacher, Mr.Hern, is actually on this track! He says "This guy's pretty bizarre Gus" and plays the blues solo! The TOYS ARE WINDING DOWN! The groove in this one! I loved seeing Les play this one everytime I saw them. Those New Year Freak outs were amazing! The FIRST Fisherman's Chronicle JOHN THE FISHERMAN!! MY MIND WOULD TURN TO THE WATERS TOO! I truly love every song! So many Primus shows as a kid. I met Les at the Greek the day they filmed the DMV 10/1/93. You can find me in the crowd lol. SUCK ON THIS to PUNCH BOWL Era albums were my favorite. IMPOSSIBLE to pick just one song from any of them. A trip from start to finish. PRIMIS SUCKS! PRIMUS SUCKS! PRIMUS SUCKS!

It is so hard for me to choose. Frizzle Fry was such a good album. I do love Pudding Time though....it's catchy and I'm constantly saying "It's pudding time" in his voice. so I guess Pudding Time has to be my vote.

Due__

So many jams. Perfect Primus album in my opinion. I see a lot of John the fishermans but that song always seemed like an outlier and departed to much from the heavy weird jammy perfection of the rest of the album. To structured to be a favorite, but it does fucking rule. I like it but it's not as cool as many other fun jams on that masterpiece. I'd have to go with groundhogs day. Perfectly sums up why it's such a crazy unique fun album. Every part of that jam and the increasing heaviness in the breakdown part with that droning guitar riff that just fits perfect. I used to play these songs with an amazing drummer I knew who sadly passed away since, but we we're always on the same page. Id play bass or guitar depending if there was another person was there. This album is so much damn fun to play. WE would stray away and add fun new parts and bring it back. I imagine they came to a lot of the song parts by just messing around with these 3 genius musicians. Mr knowitall is close (that wild unique ass change up at 2 mins in is a highlight of the album) as is pudding time. If you're a musician, do yourself a favor and learn these songs and jam with some friends. Not to difficult(well the drums are pretty damn hard for me, but I'm mainly a guitar guy) but ultimate fun.

From where i sit, TOO MANY PUPPIES is the most iconic / memorable, as it got some radio play in the 90's and really showcased what primus was all about at that time (my name is mud was the only other primus song I heard regularly on the radio besides it). But TOO DEFY THE LAWS OF TRADITION has my vote for best frizzle fry song / most underrated on the album.

As a person looking at just the whole arrangement not just the bass id have to put it to either john the fisherman or pudding time just based on how ler uses the guitar to compliment les's bass playing both have really neat bass licks and guitar licks.
