Anyway... today's tune is a request. A number of folks sent in songs they would like to hear, so I just picked one for today. Another classic '80s alternative blast from the past... one of those cult classics anyone over 25 should at least be passing familiar with... Siouxsie & the Banshees.
Interesting fact I only recently learned, John Simon Ritchie... better known as Sid Vicious... started with the Banshees as they're first drummer, before joining the Sex Pistols. Siouxsie & The Banshees were one of the longest running acts to come out of the '70s London punk scene, their last album The Rapture, coming in 1995.
For a band whose first gig consisted of nothing more than a 20 minute screaming and grinding guitar version of the Lord's Prayer, they certainly changed their sound as they grew without ever losing a truly avant garde sound.
