 Steve,
I am not offended by your comment at all.
As a matter of fact, I am with you!  I really don't have the so called "least favourite" album by Oils, just sometimes I tend to listen to some more than others.  And the favourites change too, it all depends on my mood.  I have never been to Australia yet, but that is one place I would love to visit one day, hopefully soon!  And Oils definitely paint that amazing land in their music, and they do such an excellent job at it, that it makes me so much more wanting to go there.
One thing I know, is that me and my family are so spoiled by Oil music, than when we (especially my husband now) listen to other bands, we finally came to the conclusion, that no-one can even come close to Oils.  Like for example, I played one of the newer Steppenwolf CDs yesterday, and my husband listened for a while, then said...ok, they are good, but the drums need a lot more, a lot more...then...he said....They need someone like Rob !

Firstly it sounds like I am the only fan out there that loves EVERY album
they have done and see it all as trying different things and stretching how
far they can go as musicians and as a band. A band like Creed or Nickelback
can't produce 2 songs that sound different let alone 15 albums. To quote
Peter Garret, you to evolve as a band or you will just go stale and die.

To those of you talking about how the band "just isn't together" on the
blue album or how they are just trying to play as fast as they can etc.
etc.

How many of you lived in Inner Suburban Australia in the late 70's?

This was the music of the time, and in fact it is this exact style of
playing that won the oils the fiercely loyal following they still have
today.

Really noisy, really bad punk music was the sound of that period, the thing
is the oils did it better than anyone. If they had of gone into a pub in
Sydney or Melbourne and played anything but fast & furious rock, they
probably would not be around right now.

The statement that they 'were just not as together as we know they can be'
is a dumb one. Well der, they had been together 3 years at that point as
compared to 27 years now. Everybody has to start somewhere.

Did you go straight from nappies to college or University, no. It's the
same principle.

Sorry but i am very defensive of the guys that introduced me to what real
music is and i honestly do not mean to offend anybody.

Regards,
Steve.
