Are they?

No, they are not.

I hope people don't actually listen to The Shaggs. The concept of rhythm is foreign to them.
>>64259770
Zappa was joking when he said that.

I believe Zappa might have been in on it. If you listen to the Shaggs, it's bad in a really technical way, like only an expert at music could make music that bad.
If the backstory of The Shaggs is true, why wouldn't they just play really simple Wild Thing or Louie Louie type music? It's extremely complex and original. It isn't really derivative of anything
I just can't believe the official story of the Shaggs. I want to believe Zappa somehow made it happen. Listen to My Pal Foot Foot, it's basically a Zappa song as is
The Shaggs ROCK! The only band that comes this close to their talent and innocence would be The Fugs!
Yes

What?

All it is is that they didn't know how to play their instruments. "Huurr so funnay they can't play." This is what passed for humor back then?
they are not "good" but their songs actually have their own weird internal logic and they are really interesting to listen to
