SHAGGOFF! — THE LONG-THREATENED SHAGGS SPECIAL!!

It's finally happened! After years of threats, promises and increasingly worrying conversations, Al, DB and B assemble for the long-threatened SHAGGOFF!

We're ranking EVERYTHING THE SHAGGS EVER RECORDED! From their extraordinary 1969 masterpiece Philosophy of the World to the equally wonderful recordings collected on Shaggs' Own Thing, plus the rarities and bonus tracks. Nothing escapes the SHAGGOFF!

Three sisters from Fremont, New Hampshire. Dorothy, Betty and Helen Wiggin. Three extraordinary musical minds who created something unlike anything else in the history of recorded music.

And as three blokes from Wigan, we feel a particular kinship with the Wiggins. Wigan loves the Wiggins! The Wiggins would probably be baffled by Wigan!

THE FULL SHAGGOFF SONG LIST — IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER!

Sweet Maria, My Pal Foot Foot, Gimme Dat Ding, Things I Wonder, Who Are Parents?, Painful Memories, That Little Sports Car, Yesterday Once More, My Cutie, Philosophy of the World, Missouri Waltz, I'm So Happy When You're Near, Shaggs' Own Thing, It's Halloween, Wheels, What Should I Do?, Paper Roses, My Companion, Love at First Sight, Why Do I Feel?, You're Somethin' Special to Me, Sweet Thing, I Love, We Have a Savior...and maybe Wipeout!

Songs about parents, pets, friendship, heartbreak, Halloween and the everyday mysteries of existence. Rhythms that refuse to behave, guitars operating in different dimensions and melodies that follow their own peculiar logic.

But what makes The Shaggs so special isn't simply how unusual their music sounds. It's the absolute sincerity, innocence, honesty and integrity running through every single recording. There is something profoundly moving about three sisters making music entirely their own, with no pretence, no calculation and no desire to be anything other than themselves.

We love The Shaggs wholeheartedly. Their music is funny, touching, bewildering, beautiful and utterly human. It's a little universe of its own, and we wouldn't change a single note.

So which songs will emerge victorious? Which will break our hearts? And can three grown men from Wigan possibly agree on the greatest Wiggin recording?

WEIRD! WILD! WONDERFUL!

WE LOVE THE SHAGGS! WE LOVE THE WIGGINS!
