The Fugs is a 1966 album by The Fugs, described in their AllMusic profile as "arguably the first underground rock group of all time".[3] The album charted number 95 on Billboard's "Top Pop Albums" chart. The album was re-released on CD in 1993 as The Fugs Second Album on the Fantasy label with five additional tracks: two live performances and three tracks recorded for Atlantic in 1967 for an album that was never released. In its review of the re-release, AllMusic finds them "very ahead of their time lyrically" and compares them to the punk band Dead Kennedys, both lyrically and in their shared "weakness for crude humor".[4]
In 2003, David Bowie included it in a list of 25 of his favourite albums, "Confessions of a Vinyl Junkie".[5]
