Ok let's here it. The best releases? I have been having a bit of an appreciation week of all albums and dvd's. Bit surprising that a band like Primus released a "best of" when Claypool is so prolific normally. I reckon;
Cheese, Frizzle Fry and the Brown albums are the best, some of the jam band concerts etc. are a bit too self indulgent. Mackerel and sausage from the others. And why do we never see them this side of the atlantic anymore?

In reply to matthew jones:

Frizzle Fry has to be my favourite, perhaps less of the characteristic bass wierdness than others, but just top quality funky rowdy energetic stuff.

In reply to matthew jones:
Saw them twice supporting Janes Addiction. In fact I was listening to Sailing the Seas of Cheese just last week whilst clearing out some old tapes. I seem to remember him bouncing aound on one leg as he was playing hardcore bass.
Really tight band. Their first album was recorded live I seem to remember. Tommy the Cat is a fave track. Haven't really heard much of their later stuff though.

In reply to matthew jones:

Pretty keen on Pork Soda myself although to be fair I've only heard 3 albums (and a pretty cool live bootleg).

Very keen on their work on Tom Waits recent albums.
Also Larry LaLonde should get big plaudits for being the guitar behind Possessed's finest music.
