The 11 Best Songs By Wolfmother

It's been a year of surprise releases as I've mentioned before:  Beyonce, Skrillex, Kid Cudi, and now a reformed Wolfmother can be added to the list.  But this is the season for surprises...because it's March...and there are no rules.  It's madness. Warren Buffet made the genius promotion to offer one billion dollars for anyone who could fill out a perfect March Madness bracket.  Though the probability seems impossible, it's not.  Don't get me wrong, it's not an easy task.  Out of 11 million people who tried to do it, no one person made it past the first round.  But outside of the Mercer upset, the rest of the games were not total surprises but loosely predictable.  Dayton beats Ohio State in an in-state rivalry game, which can always go either way irregardless of seeding.  An extremely well-coached Harvard was a very popular upset pick.  North Dakota State is one of the best shooting teams in the country playing against a mediocre, under-preforming Oklahoma squad.  And Stephen F Austin was on a hot win streak playing against an injury-stricken VCU team.  Across two of my brackets, I had picked all the upsets (except for the Mercer game).  In retrospect, the Atlantic Sun was the conference that gave us Florida Gulf Coast last year, maybe Mercer wasn't that big of a shock?  But Duke losing in Raleigh...how can you pick against that? That said, it can be done.  A perfect bracket is obtainable.  If Wolfmother can reform then anything can happen. Here are the 11 Best Songs By Wolfmother:

1. Violence of the Sun (Cosmic Egg)
2. Joker & The Thief (Wolfmother)
3. New Moon Rising (Cosmic Egg)
4. Woman (Wolfmother)
5. Cosmic Egg (Cosmic Egg)

The 11 Best Songs By Wolfmother

Somewhere between the misty mountains of Led Zeppelin and the dirty ground of the White Stripes, a little three-piece clawed their way out from down under using only their six-strings and their mushroom cloud hair, howling and shredding the whole way.  Their brief two album career amount to a stellar debut album and a fierce sophomore double album that suffered from being too much too fast.  Not only was it two full albums worth of material...it also came with an third album's worth of b-sides, covers and live tracks.  The Smashing Pumpkins waited until album number 4 to drop an entire library of new material on us.  Guns N Roses even waited until their third release to hit with the double LP.  Wolfmother may not have been on the same level but they aspired to be.  And like Icarus, their demise could have been trying to fly to the sun too fast.  The band never made it to their third album.  With only lead singer, songwriter and guitarist Andrew Stockdale left in the band...even he quickly realized he was making a solo album and not another Wolfmother album.  That said...his new solo album deserves a place next to the rest of the band's catalog.

The 11 Best Songs By Creed

I know what you're thinking...why am I doing a list for Creed? Why would I even waste my time? But love them or hate them...Creed has been one of the few rock successes over the past few years. Whether it's deserved or it's because there isn't any other great rock music out there is definitely a question to be asking...unless your asking Scott Stapp...then that's just going to get you a punch in the face.
