When a Band Names Themself After One of Your Favorite Works - And Suck
I took the time to track down Wolfmother and listen to their offerings online.

Tom Robbins fans will recognize the name as a recurring element of Skinny Legs and All.

Okay, they don't suck, but it's 100% pure cock-rock.

I get the feeling they missed the whole point of that book.

1. Ahhh but you miss the whole point of Wolfmother
It's Cock-Rock, but a throwback to the late-70's/early-80's cock rock of Black Sabbath, Early Whitesnake and Led Zeppelin.

A tip of the hat if you will...and between the lines in their lyrics is some good stuff.

And my brothers threatened to beat me up for listening to it.

4. OOOH
I'd 100% agree of their early stuff, say 80% of their later stuff, but I did like "Woodburning," and a couple others on Dulcinea.

Nowhere nearly as entertaining as the original movie
