Greatest Hits

by Wesley Willis

Greatest Hits cover art

Released on Jello Biafra's Alternative Tentacles imprint, this compilation introduced the wider alternative music scene to the highly eccentric, schizophrenic street musician Wesley Willis. Performing his stream-of-consciousness, often profane spoken-word poetry over pre-programmed Technics keyboard beats, Willis crafted an absolutely unique form of outsider synth-punk. The collection highlights his surreal observations on rock bands, fast food, and his own mental illness.
