Question:
Why are there almost no reviews for albums/CD's by musical group The Fugs, given their influence on music?
The Fugs were comprised of four members of the New York "Greenwich Village" scene during the '60's. They could definitely
be considered crude, but they were intelligent and very politically
aware, and really didn't seem to care if they were liked by the masses or not. They were more interested in voicing their opinions thru music. Almost all of their recorded works are out of print or hard to find,but I rarely(or if at all) see reviews about
their music. Any Help?
Answers:
The Fugs were so Left Wing during their career that very few people would purchase their albums. They ranked with Joan Biaz, Jane Fonda, and Alan Ginsberg as protesters during the 60s. I remember them well. I never knew anyone who had one of their recordings.
I doubt they had any real influence on the music scene. Otherwise, they would have been much more popular and some of their music would have continued through today. Yeah, they got on the charts, but not very high.

BTW, the second responder was very rude.
