Siouxsie and the Banshees - The Scream

This album made quite the impression on my 13 year-old brain when I heard John Peel play it. It sounded like nothing else I’d ever heard – certainly, it was a world away from the Hong Kong Garden single which had preceded it. I can still recall the sensation of my mind being blown.

Even today, when we’ve all heard everything there is to hear, and can all point out its influences (Yeah but Can, yeah but The Velvet Underground etc), it still holds up as a fucking incredible piece of work.

Siouxsie and the Banshees didn’t get any better than this, but that’s OK.
