Philosophy of the World is the first album by The Shaggs, released in 1969 by Third Word Records and rereleased in 1980 by Red Rooster Records/Rounder Records after the band NRBQ found it at a Massachusetts radio station in 1978. A CD version containing Shaggs' Own Thing was released in 1988 by Rounder, and another CD, this time without the latter record, was released by RCA Victor in 1999. Blender Magazine placed it 100th on the list of the '100 Greatest Indie-Rock Albums Ever' in 2007. Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain listed Philosophy of the World as his #5 favorite album of all time. The record has also been cited as highly influential by Frank Zappa, Kimya Dawson of The Moldy Peaches, and Deerhoof. (via Wikipedia)
