Over the next decade, the Meat Puppets released a series of albums, both on SST Records and finally on major labels, which hearkened back to ZZ Top and Led Zeppelin.

These sounds gave way to psychedelia, acid rock, and quieter tunes alongside the western-style thrash on Meat Puppets II, and to more intricate and melodic songs on 1985's Up On the Sun.

This song was bootlegged by Paul van Dyk for his track "For An Angel" which became a chart hit. Their early works (the In a Car ep and Meat Puppets I lp) were wholeheartedly punk, with unintelligible vocals and often sloppy musicianship.
