Not exactly, a couple of their 80's albums got good reviews. But yes, I agree in part.

I'd rather listen to Sugababes than Wolf Eyes.

If you've never heard them, I'd go for 'Satisfied Mind' or 'See Beautiful Rattlesnakes Gardens' . Check out also Carla Torgerson's solo album called 'Saint Stranger'.

I second that. I don't know if it's the Walkabouts' best album, but it is pretty brilliant.

This is so odd, but i've just read the comment that you left with the rep and even though i wasn't aware that you like them too, I had a suspicion that you might have. Spooky.

I like Cowboy Junkies, I like The Triffids... I'm bound to like The Walkabouts :)

:rolleyes: You're Italian, I wouldn't expect you understand the greatness that is Cowboy Junkies.

Crowded House wrote a lot better songs than people might realise.

Look, I bought what is their first record (i think) because they had covered 'Sweet Jane', and i thought it was abysmal, baconface.:) :) :)

atsonicpark 05.08.2007 09:05 AM

I Love Tool.

MellySingsDoom 05.08.2007 09:17 AM

Dennis Waterman's "I Could Be So Good For You" is a great tune.

That's like buying Confusion Is Sex because it has a Stooges cover on it and then dissing everything SY have ever done because it's cack. Stick to the opera, pizzaboy.

UH? The only difference that you fail to mention is that Cowboy Junkies ARE NOT Sonic Youth, but a band for people who hang around in Ikea on a Saturday afternoon.

Grrr.

I disagree, Mondance, St Dominic's preview, Tupelo honey and It's too late to stop now are very listenable.
