It's my favourite album of the year so far. I've put the question out there several times now and still had no reply as to what makes these lyrics inferior to the rest of the lyrics in the music we listen to. Until someone can validly tell me why there is less merit in Steel Panther's lyrics than anyone else's it will remain at the top of my 2009 list too... unless someone records an album which is as good as 'Feel The Steel' this year. Simple as that. The songs are the best I have heard in 2009. Stop prattling on about the lyrics. If you like them then that's lovely. The fact this band get a ton of undeserved hype and album sales is criminal when you think that talented bands like MARCELLO/VESTRY and FARCRY are playing 80's MHR and not getting anywhere near this level of hype. Sure, most AOR lyrics are not great - but never are they embarrassing to the point that you cringe every time you hear them. If I was 13 years old I might want to play this to my mates, but if I did that with this album I wouldn't expect to have any mates left. Anyway, this thread is about parody albums - and my view is that they're rarely funny. They NEVER have longevity. Let someone else buy them so you can hear them and laugh once, so you don't then see them collect dust on the shelf. If someone can tell me a parody song/album that is genuinely worth playing more than once or twice then let me know 'cos I haven't heard it. Sorry but I'm a serious music collector/fan & don't have time for this stuff. Sorry to disagree with you Tim, but the Steel Panther is excellent. Just take a look at Scrap Mettle to see just how badly this can be done.....now that album is cringeworthy...poor songs and not really that funny. Songs like 'Asian Hooker' and 'Community Property' are great in my book. Cheers

The Poodles - Clash Of The Elements Steel Panther - Feel The Steel Killswitch Engage - s/t

Git you beat me by about 10 seconds......now I have to figure out another one! LOL.

Mate you need Comatose.....that album is awesome from beginning to end. Yep love the clips - just ordered it... There are some great great songs on that album. My favs are 'The Last Night', 'The Older I get', 'Those Nights' and of course the excellent 'Rebirthing' Great stuff and pretty much pisses on anything so far this year, except maybe Nural. Enjoy........cheers (PS the debut album is not so melodic so I would avoid that one).

Just pre-ordered my copy! Cant wait.

Wow, big mistake mate....this is pretty killer to these ears. Very Shinedown. Sorry mate got this mixed up with Evans Blue (which I don't like), this is cool stuff. Though it looks like download only again.... Did you listen to Bulletproof? Great song that one........

Mate you need Comatose.....that album is awesome from beginning to end.

Walk On - Jimmy Barnes

Speaking of Freako, what the hell happened to his thread? I was getting a kick out of the battle between those that considered him a diddler, and those that offered him absolution and sainthood upon his death. I was wondering where that thread went to. If it got ugly, then it was probably deleted. Looked like the battle was just getting started last I saw it. I must've missed some interesting stuff. i wondered why there wasn't an jacko thread going. Because some people never learned that if you have nothing worthwhile saying, say nothing at all. All they want to do is spew shit. Whatever. Grow the fuck up. I'm out. On topic............RIP Farrah. Yeah you pretty much hit the nail on the head. RIP Farrah.

There are loads of acts influenced by MJ's style. The most famous which springs to mind is Justin Timberlake......totally copies his style.

nice.......that's pretty much my line up for the day! That Dynazty started out strong but faded towards the middle and end. Shame really cos the first three showed some promise. Sturm Und Drang do this sooooo much better.
