That's impossible, as Sung Tongs exists.

It's not that I 'must know' about MMP - I grew up in the general area where you live, I think. I saw Morrissey play at Merriweather Post Pavillion in 1992 - never been to Nissan pavillion though..I haven't lived in the area since about 1993.
I'm not much of an Animal Collective fan but, naturally, that album name always reminds me of the place

It's an alright venue, definitely not worth naming an album after though. Pretty much a typical big outdoor concert place with a big stage. In fact I always preferred Nissan because you can smoke weed there and nobody really gives a fuck. Where'd you grow up?

And clutknuckles is right, Sung Tongs is definitely their best.

I don't think they are very good, but all the reviews I have read said they were great.

Various suburbs of DC. The longest stretch was in Manassas, VA.
When I saw Morrissey at MMP in 92 they didn't have a handle on the weed smoking situation at all. I think it was the first time I smoked good hashish

I'm just getting into them. I only listened to Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished and Danse Manatee a couple of times, so I started from the start. I don't know...they're interesting. I can't say I feel it all the way just yet, but I can see it growing on me. I think I like Danse Manatee a bit more. Anyway, their music certainly has the power to make me want to hear more.

So, a question for the fans - What should I check next? Also, I have to say that I usually like avant garde and experimental side of pop music, so that's not a problem. What album has the right balance of avant garde and pop?

Good band, Sung Tongs and Strawberry Jam are brilliant albums. I never understood the hype over Merriweather Post Pavillion though, in any sense.

Strawberry Jam > Sung Tongs > Merriweather Post Pavilion > Feels

In my opinion, SJ is throwaway. In comparison to Sung Tongs/MPP/Feels, that is. It's alright in comparison to other pop music.
