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

I'll admit... there was. What was it, eh, 1994?
http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=FyDCl3Hzdy4 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. |

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

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 http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=o8r5Xvz9CjE |

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

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.

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:

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. |

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.
