naw. I listened to my share of both bands. Hole made great albums, forgetting about that last turd she dropped under the Hole name, which which actually a solo album anyways she just put the name on to sell more to people who wanted a new Hole album.
"Pretty on the Inside" was a good album, much in the style of noise rock, which owed more to bands like Sonic Youth than it did to the grunge movement of that time. It may be a tad bit dated now, but it is good none the less.
"Live Through This" is a good album as well, not much else to say on it, but it is still a good listen to this day.
"Celebrity Skin" is my favorite, a more mature album, with a good pop sensibility to it. "Northern Star", "Dying" and "Best Sunday Dress" (found on Japanese import version) are some of the best stuff they have done.
Hole was a great band, just a shame Courtney will always be remembered as the wife of Kurt Cobain, before she is remembered as the frontwoman of Hole in many peoples eyes.
But Brody basically is no more than a Courtney Love wannabe, following in her footsteps. What she did with Tim Armstrong was no different than what Courtney did with Kurt Cobain, used his name to further her own and get more exposure for herself.
