The same year the band had planned to release a live album compilation spanning their entire career up to that point, titled Paintin' the Town Brown: Ween Live 1990-1998. The band's desire to pursue alternate forms of media led to the MP3-only release Craters of the Sac, presented by Melchiondo for online download and free trade. It is considered a prog rock concept album, and featured the singles " Mutilated Lips" and " Ocean Man", the latter gaining a significant following after being a song on the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie soundtrack. The nautically-themed album The Mollusk followed in 1997. It gave way to the singles " Piss Up a Rope" and "You Were the Fool". Ween's next album, released in 1996, was titled 12 Golden Country Greats and was recorded with several prominent Nashville musicians, featuring a distinct country sound. In 1994 Chocolate and Cheese was released, which spawned the singles " Voodoo Lady", " Freedom of '76", and "I Can't Put My Finger on It". While touring for this album, they played at Chapel Hill, North Carolina, which would later be released as a CD/DVD live album in 2008 titled At the Cat's Cradle, 1992. It features their highest-charting single to date, " Push th' Little Daisies". Later, Ween signed with Elektra Records and released their major label debut Pure Guava in 1992. In 1991 they signed with another independent label, Shimmy-Disc, and released The Pod. Starting out with a few locally released demo tapes, including The Crucial Squeegie Lip, AXIS: Bold as Boognish, and The Live Brain Wedgie / WAD Excerpts, the band was picked up by independent label Twin/Tone Records in 1990 and released their debut GodWeenSatan: The Oneness. The following is the discography of Ween, a Pennsylvania-based experimental alternative band formed by childhood friends Aaron Freeman and Mickey Melchiondo, better known by their respective stage names, Gene Ween and Dean Ween.
