Anyone here listen to Siouxsie & The Banshees?

[j0lly]

They are probably one of the best bands to come out of London's Post-Punk scene. A friend gave me few of their CD's and I can see why they were so popular. Siouxsie has a nice voice.

I like Sick Child (my fav. track), Kiss Them for Me, Israel (live), Arabian Nights, and a few other tracks.

 

[arigato]

Yes, they are awesome. Saw them live a few years ago and it was a great show.

 

[kei]

hehe...listening to Face to Face (their collaboration w/ Danny Elfman for Batman)

 

[yakko]

Don't forget their hit Peekaboo.

 

[j0lly]

A live session must have been great.

It's amazing how many compliations they are in. If you have the Batman Forever sound track there is a song called 'Passenger'. I believe the original is done by the Siouxsie & The Banshees.

Listening to Peekaboo now. I want to buy The Rapture album but can't find it anywhere online (haven't checked ebay yet).

My brother in law told me about them and how he used to listen to them back in college. Never got around to it though. I think i'll sample them.

 

[Jfur]

Saw them live over a decade ago

I think Rapture was the tour I saw them on sometime in '95. Haven't listened to that album in a long time, guess I'll have to go dig it out

 

[Rudee]

The song 'Spellbound" was kind of creepy.

Other than the tracks I mentioned in my first post, I also recommend Swimming Horses, and The Ghost In You.

<<Saw them live over a decade ago>>

Their live tracks sound really good. Too bad they are no more.

You should.

Not my fav. track but not too bad.

 

[Renob]

They rocked live I saw them around 10 years ago in SF

Freaky, I was listening to Peepshow this morning. Peekaboo is an awesome track to play up loud when planted in front of a good stereo

 

[TuffGirl]

I love Siouxsie & The Banshees! My fave tracks are Kiss Them For Me and Cities of Dust (?).

The Catatonic Mix of this track is really good.

Sick Child is also good.



woodly6. You have good taste.

 

[DevilsAdvocate]

Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Kah

Boooooooo!

Siouxsie rules!

 

[Red Dawn]

They did have a different sound. There was no mistaking them for anybody else.



<< listening to Face to Face (their collaboration w/ Danny Elfman for Batman) >>

Danny Elfman, now there's a talent. I loved/love Oingo Boingo plus he's gone on to do many, many soundtracks for movies (and the Simpsons)

 

[djheater]

I almost saw the first lalapalooza, but I was to broke at the time. I'm really upset I didn't go.

Siouxsie and Janes Addiction, Butthole Surfers.... man what a show that would have been. Not that I would have been in any state to remember it anyway.

I knew I saw her somewhere. You forgot Nine Inch Nails back before anyone knew who they were, Rollins, and Ice-T and Body Count. I still have that T-shirt.

 

[GT578]

I listen to their CDs often.....their songs are pretty unique.......I like their remake of Beatle's Dear Prudence....and I like Dazzle also....

I'm probably like the only korean in atlanta who listens/knows about this group.....
