Absolute garbage, is this supposed to be a joke

lol pretentious fags in the comments saying how good this is even though its intentionally supposed to sound bad

>influence
The shaggs were influential to many artists doesn’t make them good. Musicians are not like the people on Yas Forums, most of them think this shits pathetic

China Pig is litteraly the best song of all time

Just listened to this album again
Thanks for the reminder OP

I prefer Moonlight in Vermont

Close second

Why do newfags keep on making these pointless threads? Just lurk more until you're not newfags anymore, it's not that complicated, stop shitting up the board.

Beatles were influential and yet their music was mediocre. Influence is an objective quality of music that isn't entirely based upon the content itself.
Innovation is the most important quality of course, and TMR did nothing but that. Probably why you didn't mention it. The Shaggs had little to none.

This reads like a Scaruffi shitpost. Anyway The Shaggs sort of pioneered that lo-fi twee sound that Beat Happening would end up perfecting, they definitely did something fresh at the time.

scaruffi reviews music in the least abstract way possible. if you really wondered why people disregard The Shaggs and praise TMR just read his reviews.
