You can just imagine them standing up at the microphone, with a scrunched-up face, and letting rip. They produce the kind of unique, gravelly baritone that makes you want to stick them in a preserving jar and put them in a museum.

Greg Dulli: The Whigs moved to L.A. to work on our second record. Then the label ran out of money. Around then, Sub Pop came out with T-shirts that said WHAT PART OF “WE HAVE NO MONEY” DONT YOU UNDERSTAND?, which I’m sure was pretty funny, but I got stranded in L.A. and had to get a job.

16 Afghan Whigs: Greg Dulli was always destined for semi-greatness. In another era, with Andrew Loog Oldham promoting him, he mightve been huge. Instead, he had to settle for mostly hated. He makes my fan club look like a gentlemens auxiliary. But no matter many slings people take at this poor chap, he comes back stronger, angrier and more seductive. Black Love still sounds like a film noir where nobody survives. But they must because he went on to the Twilight Singers and the Gutter Twins with Mark Lanegan, where he continues to entertain and irritate with maximum efficiency. But stop hitting on my sister.
Mark Lanegan came in at #5.
