Meat Puppets - Too High To Die (1994)


Country, Rock

     The Meat Puppets are another one of those bands that get enormous respect in the music industry, but are practically invisible to the general public.  Arguably Kurt Cobain's  biggest influence, many popular Nirvana songs were originally written by the Puppets (Plateau, Lake Of Fire, Oh Me) and they accompanied Kurt onstage during the '93 MTV unplugged Nirvana set, from which they gained some short-term mainstream exposure.  Too High To Die is their most commercially successful album and my personal favorite, and is a perfect uplifting mix of psychedelic rock, country, and punk.
