Description

The Shaggs Philosophy of the World


Ranked very high on Kurt Cobain’s list of favorite records and also commonly known as the worst record ever made.


The Shaggs formed at the insistence of their father, Austin Wiggin, who believed that his mother had predicted their rise to fame. Philosophy of the World features bizarre songs with badly tuned guitars, erratically shifting time signatures, disconnected drum parts, dering melodies and rudimentary lyrics about pets and families. It has been described as both among the worst records of all time and a work of "accidental genius". After it was reissued on Rounder Records in 1980, it received enthusiastic reviews for its uniqueness in Rolling Stone and The Village Voice.
