: : Miss Toad? Check out Lapdog!
: Well, well, I have been checking out Lapdog - downloading anything they'll post on the Web - and I have to say what a fantastic sound!
: I now know where Toad got their unique sound, it certainly wasn't from Glenn Philips.
: I know this blasphemy here on these pages but I think Lapdog is far more enjoyable than Glenn is. Maybe because I like guitar rock I don't know.
: Don't get me wrong I still like Glenn's music but it simply doesn't pull me in like Lapdog or the old Toad stuff. I realize Glenn wrote much of TTWS material but it was the band that made it sweet music.
: So what do you think about that?
I disagree. I also own both lapdog and glens solo effort and feel that lapdogs 'near tonight' gets tiring after a few times of listing. It sounds too much like everything else out there right now on the radio. Glens cd is very refreshing and diferent from anything else on the radio today. 'Abulum ' also reminds me of toads" "Pale" cd. Lericaly, again Glens cd again prevails over Todds attemps.
just my 2 cents
