What, if I may ask, is so "batshit insane" about the cover art for Congregation?

Well, yeah. And clearly Amy Phillips does not = Pitchfork, but it's kind of a wtf to see such a freakout when exactly zero Whigs albums made the cut of Pitchfork's "Greatest 100 albums of the '90's" list.

And what would she say about the Gentlemen cover?

It is probably more by dumb luck than actual influence, but I have seen a couple videos for some of these emo/pop punk bands on Fuse that are coming up with some guitar that reminds me of Rick McCollum's playing in the Afghan Whigs.

1965 was my favorite album from that year.

Earl Nash OTM

It seems the funk/r&b and watered-down post-hardcore influences in the Afghan Whigs carried over to the emo/dance punk of the 00s. Yet I highly doubt the Afghan Whigs themselves were the influence.

More likely Gang Of Four, et al.
