I listen to them anyway though, usually at work when I get sick of being subjected to godawful post-2000 club music and they won't let me play motown, jazz, funk, or doo-wop anymore. My older cousins got me into them when I was a little kid. I love their weird, funky guitar riffs and bass lines, their drums are always amazing, and the lyrics are usually fucked up ballads about doomed people no matter how quirky the music is.
Post your favorite Primus song or album.
My go-tos are usually Jerry Was A Race Car Driver, John the Fisherman, My Name Is Mud, Winona's Big Brown Beaver, and Those Damn Blue Collar Tweekers. Seems like those are common favorites for people who listen to these guys, but there's a few really great not-as-well-known tracks. Golden Boy has a great riff and a surprisingly engaging story to tell. Mrs Blaileen, too, although it's a bit weirder.
Also if you don't love the music video for Winona's Big Brown Beaver, you're a communist. I think this might be their greatest contribution to music and really shows off how legendary they are on guitar AND drums.

I've only listened to Sailing the Seas of Cheese and their hit songs, my favorite is Those Damn Blue Collar Tweekers, others I like are American Life, Is It Luck? and South Park's theme song.

I never quite got the hang of Primus, but I dig Pork Soda and I have a weak spot for Anti pop. Especially the last track with Tom Waits guesting on it, me being a BIG Tom Waits fan. Pork Soda was really a defining sound when it arrived in '93 or whenever, but I didn't look too much into it past the obvious "hits" from the album back then. But I really dug that sound, and coming back to Pork Soda many years later, I concluded that it is actually a quite good album. Another fun fact about the Anti-pop album is that many of the tracks lists none other than mr. Fred Durst as producer. That is kinda funny if you're not too big on Limp Bizkit, but the whole album sounds great still Another two favourites from that album in stylistical opposite ends would be Laquer Head and that spacey Electic Electric or whatever it was called.

I've only listened to Sailing the Seas of Cheese(...) Same as Joe here. I remember giving StSoC a try after watching Mastodon's Workhorse Chronicles, on which the main singer/bass player Troy Sanders cite that album as one of his all time favorites - and love it. I gave Brown Album a quick listen after Gokuma said that it synchronizes with Quake's demos (haven't put that to test yet, i believe his full of shit on this tbh, but the album it's pretty solid nonetheless).

No love for the Frizzle Fry?
Very sad, many such cases.
