Frizzle Fry by Primus (1990)

Debut album by one of the weirdest and most iconic trios of the 90's
A wild acid trip ride of an album that doesn't let you stop head banging or groovin' til its over

Fave track: To Defy the Laws of Tradition
This album is still produced on vinyl semi often but can't be bought new as of rn.

Flood by They Might Be Giants (1990)
