Wikipedia says, By the 1980s, copies of Philosophy of the World had circulated among musicians.[3] It developed a cult following,[10] with fans including Frank Zappa, Bonnie Raitt, Jonathan Richman and Carla Bley.[4] Zappa played two songs from the album when he appeared on the Dr. Demento radio show.[11] He is often quoted as having called the Shaggs "better than the Beatles", but this may be apocryphal.[12] Tracks were also played by the Boston radio station WBCN-FM.[3]The Shaggs also attracted fans in Terry Adams and Tom Ardolino of the American band NRBQ.
