Andy Gill of the NME in 1985 cited Meat Puppets as one of the four most important American alternative bands. Along with R.E.M., Replacements and Hisker Du.II from them finds them ploughing their pioneering thrash meets Country weirdness. Pur offbeat vision. Many owe them a debt' Nirvana, Wilco, White Stripes.It's fascinating to listen to them again now and wonder at how ahead of the curve it all was.
