They are both jokey but HMR are more absurd/surrealist and musically strange IMO whereas I feel Fugs are more satire and stuff like that and the former translate better musically. Anyway, that's part of why I deleted the list:I don't even have that many "folk"-albums outside of swedish stuff so I pretty much just listed the first ones that came to mind as "good" and it's like HMR shouldn't really be on a list like that!

But yes, I really dig "Indian War Whoop", they started to get more trippy, "free" and psychedelic whereas their fist two (?) are more jokey. It's still very much folk though-no "rock" IMO, at least not what I hear as rock EDIT: and less "rocky" than Fugs were...
