Title: Just heard Wolfmother for the first time ...
Post by: ToxicAdam on December 21, 2006, 02:58:59 PM: I've kind of been stuck in Folkie land for the past few years, so I've been listening to the "alternative" station on Sirius as a change of pace. They play this group alot.

Here's their video/song "White Unicorn"

Whatcha think? Seems people either love/hate them.

I first heard them about a year ago and I liked the song "Dimension" off their EP even though it was sounded basically like a Black Sabbath ripoff. But once I heard their full album, and "Woman" about 500 times (including in Guitar Hero II), they started to annoy me.

I'd be fine if they were actually a good Black Sabbath ripoff, but they're not.

I was never a big Sabbath/Zepplin fan when I was younger, maybe that's why these guys don't instantly repulse me. But I understand how they can have that effect.
