Any Meat Puppets Fans Out There?

I fairly recently discovered these guys and they get alot of play on my system and in my car. IMHO their best albums were "Up On The Sun" and "Mirage" released in the mid-80's. Now they've just released an album called "Volcano". At $9.99 from Long Beach Records you can't beat it and its great! Curt Kirkwood is terrific with a guitar. Any one else heard it?

The above bands are some of my favourites as well and a great time and place in music. The small venue shows of the 80's were excellent. I found some the best live performances were by fIREHOSE.

The Meat Puppet Rykodisc remasters with extra tracks are a worthwhile upgrade from the original SST release.

I agree with loomisjonnson about meat puppets II and up on the sun but mirage and huevos are credible, although I found the change of style not exactly to my taste. Probably the only live show I've walked out of. After some moments genius they went on and on and on at the end of a show at Mcabe's with Spot on the ukulele.
