Anyone here who are a fan of Silverchair?

Hello everyone, I am Gustavo Woltmann from Panama. Anyone here who is a fan of Silverchair? What are your favorite songs?

Not a huge fan, but I like them: Frogstomp and Neon Ballroom were teen angst favorites I have some nostalgia for, and later on they intrigued me with the "new sound" stuff on Diorama and Young Modern ^note thinking about it, this means the only album I haven't heard is Freakshow, though I remember the singles "Freak" and "Abuse Me". Favorite tracks offhand: Israel's Son, Tomorrow, Ana's Song, Across The Night, Tuna In The Brine, If You Keep Losing Sleep.

I saw a clip of Freak on TV the opther day. Man, they were a pretty generic band when they were doing their shameless Nirvana rip offs.

They started when they were 15 ("Freak" would have been when they were 17 I think), so I guess before they matured and developed more diverse musical influences they were just trying to sound like all their favorite Alternative Rock bands: Nirvana is the most obvious comparison to make, but at different points on Frogstomp it sounds like they're imitating Alice in Chains ^note "My Suicidal Dream" starts out sounding almost exactly like "Bleed The Freak", Pearl Jam, and even Helmet. Doesn't mean they didn't come up with a catchy song once in a while during that period, and they were probably better at their instruments than most other bands of teenagers.

I liked Frogstomp, which I bought mainly for "Tomorrow" and possibly "Israel's Son". I've also heard "Freak", "Anthem for the Year 2000", "Straight Lines", "Blind", and "Stoned".

I like them. They have some really great songs. I also listened to Frogstomp a while back and I thought it was a good album despite a few weak tracks and some occasionally immature lyrics.
