Which band has more official core members, M83 or The Afghan Whigs?
The Afghan Whigs The Afghan Whigs are an American rock band from Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Originally active from 1986 to 2001, they have since reformed. The group – with core members Greg Dulli (vocals, rhythm guitar), Rick McCollum (lead guitar), and John Curley (bass) – rose up around the grunge movement, evolving from a garage band in the vein of the Replacements to incorporate more R&B and soul influences into their sound and image. After releasing their first album independently in 1988, the band signed to the Seattle-based label Sub Pop. They released their major-label debut and fourth album, "Gentlemen", in 1993. "Pitchfork" described them as "one of the few alt-bands to flourish on a major label" in the 1990s.
Ahmad Zahir Ahmad Zahir (14 June 1946 – 14 June 1979) was a singer, songwriter, and composer from Afghanistan. His songs are mostly in the Dari language and are based on Persian poems, although a few are in Pashto. Zahir was the first popular pop singer in Afghanistan as his appeal crossed all boundaries of age, class, language, and regions. Besides being a pioneer of rock and pop music in Afghanistan, in a similar style to Elvis Presley, he experimented and performed almost all styles of music (indian classical, iranian, qarsak, qataghani and logari). His immortal fame is mainly due to his repertoire of songs that are uniquely Afghan. His songs "Zeba Negaram", "Merawi Az Mano", "Agar Bahar Beyayad", "Laili Laili Jan", "Khuda Buwad Yaret", "Kajaki Abroyet" and many others, are known by most in Afghanistan. They are ranked as some of the best music created in Afghanistan's musical history.
