Wolfmother vs Wolf Parade vs Wolf Eyes

[andyrichter]

I figured it's about time I get into at least one of these Wolf bands.  So go and rank them in order of preference with suggestions.  Go!

1.  Wolfmother--RAWK
 2.  Wolf Eyes--Be warned though, not for everyone
 3.  Wolf Parade--Way overrated

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Wolfmother: derivative
 Wolf Eyes: never heard them
 Wolf Parade: tolerable

1) wolf eyes: vital
 2) wolfmother: good but derivative
 3) wolf parade: overrated
 
 little howlin wolf should be part of this list, residing either slightly above or below wolf eyes.

Despite the similarity of names, you could not have picked three bands that sound more dissimilar really. Here's my take...
 
 I can't stand Wolf Eyes. I just find their music kind of disturbing in a fingernails-being-ripped-off kind of way. I think that's what they're going for, so I guess what they are doing is good if you like noise/experimental music, but it ain't my bag, baby.
 
 Wolf Parade is rather good indie rock. Kind of a cross between The Arcade Fire and CYHSY (I expect I'll get flamed for that), but not exactly like either one. The general consensus of the forumites who attended their Black Cat show last month was that their album (Apologies to Queen Mary) was better than their live performance, but I thought they put on a very good performance, if not a great one, and expectations were too high.
 
 Wolfmother rocks it old school style. RIYL Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath. I haven't seen them live yet, but I've heard good things, so I picked up a ticket to their upcoming Black Cat show to check them out.

i did listen to some wolfmother today and i think i might check them out at their black cat show.  thanks for all the comments and suggestions.  keep em coming!

[you be betty]

i am reaaaaally diggin' the Wolfmother as of late

[kosmo vinyl]

yeah i'm liking the wolfmother at the moment and will  be rocking out on 6/6/6 at the black cat... i think Wolfmother sounds like what Led Zep could have been if Terry Reed had been the singer instead of Robert Plant.  but there is loads more 70s classic rock besides Led Zep in their sound.

Diggin' Wolfmother, but I don't think I'll catch them live - at least not for a show that goes over an hour. (I start to drift)
