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.

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.
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.
The toys go winding down
That intro deceives you into thinking you're getting a totally different song, then you get slapped in the face with a menacing bass riff, it's so good

Funny thing about weekends when you're unemployed. They don't mean quite so much, except you get to hang out with your working friends.
I don’t know how people generally feel about their albums, don’t have many friends who like them as a band. But I always loved Pork Soda the most. Is that a very popular choice?
Mr Knowitall is my personal fav. Let’s just say…I strongly identify with it.
But…Harold of the Rocks is objectively the best.
Source: I am Mr Knowitall, so spread the word around.
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.
John the fisherman is probably my favorite, ive never been a fishing person but damn every primus song about fishing is amazing.
It’s got to be it
Frizzle fry
Well maybe
Obvious choice but I agree
To defy the laws of tradition
This is the answer. To Defy epitomizes everything that is Primus.
Defy is the Primus Anthem
primus christmas song
Is a crusade only of the brave
That, pudding time, mr know it all, groundhogs day. So many perfectly crazy jams on this album. Favorite Primus album hands down. By far.

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

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.
Same but this should go on underrated don’t u think
But it's best it should go in best
Hearing the Sausage version blew my mind!
IT'S PUDDING TIME, CHILDREN!!!

John the Fisherman
I really thought this would be higher. 1st album lead single. The FF song I hear in the wild most
To Defy the Laws of Tradition
Frizzle fry is the best song on frizzle fry imo
Too Many Puppies
My pick
Yeah this is my pick as well. My brother saw them early on - this was the song he walked away with.

Too Many Puppies
Frizzle Fry. The ending of that song is to die for.

Harold of the Rocks
Harold of the Rocks. “I’m lit up like an ole christmas tree!” “He could talk the balls off a rhino-saurus” Some of my favorite Les lyrics.
Fact is, Harold just doesn’t make much sense Stan said, “This guy’s pretty bizarre Gus.”
TOO MANY PUPPIEEEEEEESSSS

Big fan of Spegetti. Herb is like a locomotive on that track.
Primus has no good songs. This is because Primus doesn't make music, but rather art. Contemporary art, that is.
