[edit] Discography

The linked album pages from the Discography are in need of much work, a lot don't exist. Prior to my update this page also listed Skunk Anansie as only having 3 releases!! There are over 70 (see the Amazon link at External Links)... --Chaosfeary 12:47, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

• There are articles on all of their albums; the other releases are singles or EPs. Warofdreams talk 09:26, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi. We don't list every version of every album in band discographies. We certainly don't list every release of the same album on different media or under different catalogue numbers, nor do we list every appearance by the band on compilation albums. Please see: Wikipedia:Guide to layout#Standardized appendices and Wikipedia:Filmographies and Discographies. If you have any questions about this, feel free to bring it up at the appropriate Talk pages. If it is very important to you that Wikipedia readers know that these albums have been released in various formats, you should consider contributing to the album articles. See WP:ALBUM for details on writing album articles. Jkelly 15:21, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Information for other album pages, or people wanting to make ones for the other albums

• http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Skunk_Anansie&oldid=29046873 - Nearly complete list of releases on all media
• http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index%3Dmusic%26field-artist%3DSkunk%20Anansie/ - Complete list of all releases by Skunk Anansie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.194.75.204 (talk • contribs)

Hi. Amazon.com, while a very useful link for shopping, certainly returns a great number of albums that Skunk Anansie songs are on. As a source for band discographies, we tend to use All Music Guide. You'll note that AMG lists all three albums that the band produced. I'd like to encourage you to stop cutting and pasting from Amazon.com, and consider reading some of the guidelines above. Since it seems very, very important to you to have the Amazon.com information in the article, I am not going to revert it for the time being. Also, I notice that you listed that Amazon link on the Talk page of each album article. In the future, keep in mind that there's no need to do that. Jkelly 16:28, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

I don't think so. Jkelly 01:47, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Anansie name origin

Just to say Anansi is an African god, not a West Indian, as reported in the specifical page for that divinity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anansi "Anansi is one of the most important gods of west African lore." --82.185.183.3 07:57, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

My understanding was that the name anansie referred to some stinky skunk or civet type animal in Jamaican slang/patois/argot, I don't have the reference in front of me right now, so I'll just mention it here.9eyedeel (talk) 19:31, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Anti-Christian?

I find the sentence claiming that Skunk Anansie are known for their anti-Christianity messages somewhat confusing. I know their music and do not see their music as anti-christian. The song Selling Jesus is not even anti-christian, just merely attacking one part of christianity, who can be seen to guilt trip you into giving them money. Does anyone have any proof to back the statement in the article up? Gothesque 13:41, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Apparently not! Matthew 13:09, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Glastonbury

Is it work mentioning that SA headlined Glastonbury in, I think, 1999? Matthew 13:09, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unofficial sites

I included Kelv's Skunk Anansie site in the external links once before as it has been around almost as long as the band and is the only one still going. Is there a good reason it was removed? --Phantomflanflinger 18:34, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Skunk Anansie inspired Cowboy Bebop?

If you listen to the Skunk Anansie song "Secretly" and then listen to the Cowboy Bebop song No Reply, the two are very similar in their intros. Way too similar. No Reply came out in 2001 in the Cowboy Bebop movie, which would've been in production when Secretly was released in late 1999. --Augur

[edit] Song samples

I removed these samples from the article, they were included as a list at the bottom of the article. And that was not really fair use. Nor did it help the article.
