Was There Ever A Moment When You Liked The Afghan Whigs?

demonrail666 · 01.15.2009, 06:36 PM

I'm curious. They sold a lot of records, to someone.

MellySingsDoom · 01.15.2009, 06:37 PM

No. Nonononononno. No.

pokkeherrie · 01.15.2009, 06:45 PM

I'll admit... there was. What was it, eh, 1994?

They played the first festival I ever went to, as a little pokkeherrie. Much later I bought that album from the sales racks, but I don't think I ever even played it once.

I might add, the one I got was second hand, so wouldn't even count in the sales figures.

I like how you phrased that question in the thread title.

radarmaker · 01.15.2009, 06:47 PM

I kinda like them. Never bought any of their records aside from one Sub Pop 7" though...

Pax Americana · 01.15.2009, 06:52 PM

Meh, they have a couple songs I kinda dig. I wouldn't really say I was ever a 'fan' though.

ZEROpumpkins · 01.15.2009, 06:55 PM

I got Gentlemen but got over it fast.

Toilet & Bowels · 01.15.2009, 07:23 PM

Yes, I was into them when that record Black Love came out, I listenend to some of their other records and thought they were crap though, then some years later i came back to Black Love and wondered what I ever liked it for in the first place

i listened to this song so many times i can't tell what i think of it anymore

i still play the cassette sometime, got it from a friend a few months after it came out.

Dead-Air · 01.15.2009, 09:51 PM

No, that was the point when I began to realize that Sub Pop could do wrong.

SuperCreep · 01.15.2009, 09:52 PM

I never got the fuss over Gentlemen.

ricechex · 01.15.2009, 10:46 PM

That song Debonair was alright. But i remember being dissapointed the more i heard them

StevOK · 01.15.2009, 10:55 PM

I remember a few years ago buying one of their cds for 49 cents because I had heard that they were good and I'll always take a gamble with such a small amount if I have it. I listened to it, but I thought it was quite boring. I don't think it must have been one of their better albums, but I didn't really care for investing any more money in them. The cd had a picture of an astronaut in Earth's orbit, but didn't have the band's name or the name of the album. I think it may have been called 1967, but I don't really remember.

Green Magnesium · 01.15.2009, 11:18 PM

I never stopped liking them.

He has the sexiest voice ever imo.

I'm not sure I've ever especially liked Afghan Whigs, but I like a few of their songs. This one comes in for a particular amount of love from me:

Close, it's 1965, their last album.

acousticrock87 · 01.16.2009, 04:27 AM

There was a moment when I first consciously heard of the Afghan Whigs, and that was right now.

Will I regret it? Time (as well as YouTube, Wikipedia, and iTunes) will tell.

ZEROpumpkins · 01.16.2009, 04:38 AM

Don't get your hopes up too much I spose.

sonic sphere · 01.16.2009, 06:32 AM

there hasn't been a moment.......................yet.

atsonicpark · 01.16.2009, 09:35 AM

Gentleman has some fucking amazing songs on it, especially the one with the singer from Scrawl. Also, "Be Sweet" is a masterpiece. Not really my kind of band but they're not bad.
