Haha yep back when Powderfinger were like a shitty Aus version of Tool. Then they became a shitty Aus version of Powderfinger.

When I saw Pantera in Australia in '01, Phil brought out the confederate flag and started going on about how it was the last thing white Americans had to hold on to, and that he would knock anyone's teeth out if they disagreed with him. It was a vulgar display of.... well, pitiful hatred.

Even having witnessed this first hand, his 80s hair metal phase is STILL the thing that I think he should be the most embarrassed about.

shudders

No prob. I mean personally I don't count anything they did pre-CFH anyway cos it's unlistenable garbage and the Abbott brothers were just teenagers obsessed with Kiss haha

Could argue Pantera. They had something like five vocalists before Anselmo. One of them recorded three albums with them. They're unrecognisable compared to what was to become but they still exist.

I agree that she's art pop, which shares a lot of common ground with prog. She gets included in prog conversations a lot because of the David Gilmour connection.

With the possible exception of Dirt I'd argue that those albums aren't the strongest for each band.
