Siouxsie And The Banshees "The Scream"

MellySingsDoom · 07.12.2008, 09:32 PM

Hello pop pickers

Well, in a ruse to do the "most pointless thread ever", here be I with a poll on the first Banshees LP. Now, I know that we've discussed the classic punk LP's at some length (y'know, the Pistols, The Damned, The Clash, Van der Graaf Generator etc), but for me, this is THE English "punk" LP of the late Seventies - a vicious and amelodic mix of the Velvets, Nico and a huge dose of glam rock refracted through a fucking broken prism.

Never mind me, though - here be a poll to choose the best choon from this genius album, so now the choice is yours. Go!

I voted "Jigsaw Feeling" but was really unable to choose between it and "Pure", because, really they are two parts of one song!

MellySingsDoom · 07.12.2008, 11:24 PM

Me vote for "Metal Postcard" - a song I never got bored of listening to.

Death & the Maiden · 07.13.2008, 12:41 AM

Helter Skelter.

I was torn between Carcass and Helter Skelter, but I figure Carcass is stuck in my head more.

Metal Postcard - but I pretty much always listen to the whole album through and don't pick and choose songs when I want to hear. I find it tough to separate the songs from the whole album as a piece.
