Wolfmother?? I've only seen videos while at the gym, but I cringed. Are they better than I think? Apparently Neil thinks so

I think I've seen the same videos, but live they were quite good. Don't know what's going on there... Either way I toast any artist who's willing to offer their time to help others!
