Seriously? Ministry have released a steady stream of albums since 1982 and are one of my all-time favorite bands. The are constantly touring and are amazing live. They started out as synth, changed to industrial, and are now thrash metal and are better than ever IMO. Pretty sure you have to disband in order to have a reunion.

EDIT: My bad. Looks like they technically disbanded in 2008 for 3 years.

BUT...

• With Sympathy (1983)
• Twitch (1986)
• The Land of Rape and Honey (1988)
• The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste (1989)
• Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs (1992)
• Filth Pig (1996)
• Dark Side of the Spoon (1999)
• Animositisomina (2003)
• Houses of the Molé (2004)
• Rio Grande Blood (2006)
• The Last Sucker (2007)
• Relapse (2012)

You forgot Cover Up (2008). All covers, has the best version of Black Betty I've ever heard. The last track is Willie Nelson singing Stigmata.

Silverchair is on an indefinite hiatus as of last year I think. It's safe to say it's over for them. Skid row has a different singer than they did when they were more famous.

Sebastian Back just put out a new album this or last year, I believe.

Funny story. Way back when, I bought (or likely got for near free) a casette from one of those 1 cent for a dozen+ casettes and then your hooked for life places... You younger generations probably don't even know what in the hell I'm talking about... Anyway, I think it was suppose to be a ZZ Top casette. The case, the text on the casette, everything said ZZ Top. Pop in it and it was Psalm 69. I didn't know it then but I sure as hell knew it wasn't ZZ Top. Instantly loved it. It was the only cassette I played in my car for a long time. It was about 2 weeks in before I even knew who it was because a relative was in my car and knew who it was. There was no internet back then, I had no easy way to figure it out, but I sure did like it!

That reminds me of when Napster was the big deal. I was just getting into punk music. There's a band called Me First and the Gimme Gimme's that do only cover songs. So in Napster you would find pretty much any punk sounding song that was a cover, was incorrectly titled as being a Me First song.

Ah yes, thank you. Quite a few awesome covers on there actually.
Oh and that's not actually Willie Nelson singing the bonus track. It is just a fan impersonating him.

For anyone interested, here are the tracks on Ministry's cover album...

1. "Under My Thumb" - 3:58 - (The Rolling Stones)
2. "Bang a Gong" - 4:48 - (T.Rex)
3. "Radar Love" - 5:21 - (Golden Earring)
4. "Space Truckin'" - 3:51 - (Deep Purple)
5. "Black Betty" - 3:21 - (Lead Belly)
6. "Mississippi Queen" - 3:14 - (Mountain)
7. "Just Got Paid" - 3:13 - (ZZ Top)
8. "Roadhouse Blues" - 4:27 - (The Doors)
9. "Supernaut" - 7:08 - (Black Sabbath)
10. "Lay, Lady, Lay" - 5:44 - (Bob Dylan)
11. "What a Wonderful World" - 7:01 - (Louis Armstrong)

Bonus tracks

• "What a Wonderful World (Short Slow Version)" - 4:17
• "What a Wonderful World (Short Fast Version)" - 3:35
• "Willie Stigmata" - 1:04 (sung by anonymous fan, affecting a Willie Nelson voice.)

Back in 2004 got to see Ministry and TKK in concert, man what a show that was.

Yeah WTF happened to Jessie and the Rippers? Lol

On another note thanks for taking me down memory lane on a lot of bands I had totally forgotten about. I'll need to burn up my credit card at the iTunes store with some of this stuff. I think this thread is telling me we need an occasional one hit wonder pack from RS. Two or three times a year would be awesome. (Sticky thread material. I know. )

I caught them on that tour as well. One of my favorite shows for sure!

Frank Black never disappeared - but the title of thread inspired me to share this from the "Teenager of the Year" tour. If you get just one Frank Black CD - get TOTY.

Enjoy!
