Ween is a Psychedelic rock and Rap act. Their sound grew out of Foo Fighters, The Best of Leonard Cohen, Luscious Jackson, Eddie Hazel and David Sanborn. Those roots explain a lot about how Ween arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Animal Collective, Dinosaur Jr., King Missile, Self and Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Weyes Blood, Water From Your Eyes, Andrew VanWyngarden, Fever Ray and Geese, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 35 connections around Ween, reaching back through Foo Fighters and forward to Weyes Blood.
