SO COOL!| FIRST TIME HEARING The Psychedelic Fur - Love My Way REACTION

[@neilsmith9066]

Psychedelic Furs, The Church, Echo and The Bunneymen, Joy Division and OMD is my Halloween/Fall soundtrack! Cool, Fun, Dark, Spooky, Haunting and Amazing All in One!

[@dansace1]

First tune that popped into my head - "Lips Like Sugar" by Echo and the Bunnymen

[@SMccrate01]

@dansace1 - The Killing Moon is right in the October vibe zone

[@mattperegrine873]

The Ghost in You

[@neilsmith9066]

Ghost in You- Furs, Under The Milk Way - Church, Killing Moon-Echo, Atmosphere - Joy Division and Souvenir - OMD are prob my favorite Haunting Halloween Vibe songs from these Amazing Under Appreciated Bands!

[@neilsmith9066]

Also Suburbia - Pet Shop Boys

[@Jacob_D4433]

Yeah, it's time for Jay and Amber to go down the Echo & the Bunnymen rabbit hole. Check out the song, "Lips Like Sugar." We ❤ the 80's!

[@tone4507]

"The Cutter" - their best IMHO

[@csn10]

Live at Royal Albert Hall 1984 is my favourite live album: Heaven up Here, No Dark Things, Never Stop, With a Hip... are all bangers. Ian's one of the best vocalists of any era, and so fun live with all of their medley's working in a bit of Velvet Underground, Beatles, Doors... and his banter with the audience!

[@antwaun9763]

The John Hughes movie "Pretty in Pink" took it's name from the Furs song. They recut the song for the movie because the song is not about a virginal sweet sixteen.

[@danieljohnson2005]

Absolutely, but they have to find the original version of Pretty in Pink, not the poppy one that was re-recorded for the movie.

[@msmilder25]

very 80's, heavy synths, art rock, new wave, and that soft, romantic vocals and lyrics...you said it, very dreamy

I've always loved Richard Butler's growling voice. Such a vibe! We used to dance to the Furs at the clubs back then. Great stuff!

[@nathalieplum2137]

I loved his cheekbones

[@machfront]

I’m a 49 year old southern guy who was about 8 or 9 when this was released. I think “growling” is fair. However he has a mysterious softness at the same time. It’s a great dichotomy for a vocal style. Like….a rocky or gruff dreamscape. Like a darkly cloudy sky. This genre and this band are not my faves, but I dig it and respect it, full force!

[@Rhiannon011]

@@machfront I call his voice "snotty English" for the 80's which I loved with all the English groups singing..their accents are so cool..

[@happytownesvanzandt]

It's been used in many movie soundtracks-- Valley Girl, Wedding Singer, Call Me By Your Name. Richard Butler is so fantastic and had another group later- Love Spit Love.

This is a great introduction to the Psychedelic Furs. A couple of others to check out are: Heaven, Pretty In Pink, Heartbreak Beat, Until She Comes and The Ghost In You.

[@wiltchamberlainisthegoat13]

This is one of the Furs two best songs….probably their 2nd best. This sounds so modern and sophisticated. It may be No. 2 BUT this song is TOTALLY AWESOME!! Their best song happens to be, “THE GHOST IN YOU”, and it’s kind of the theme song for the hit series, “Stranger Things”. But, man….this song is one of my 80s favorites!! ❤

Good good band! They were on the goth end of new wave like The Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen and Depeche Mode. Therefore the dark eerie vibe.

[@sbollin4321]

“New Wave” was something that the record companies came up with to describe post-punk and/or post-modern music but really was the precursor to what would be referred to as indie and/or alternative music. Checkout the Furs Heartbreak Beat:)

[@timoteo950]

I see someone already requested "The Ghost In You" but I want to second that.

[@christopherhoppe7508]

[@jay-bt2lu]

totally agree!! jay talks about loving the 80s but new wave and post punk WAS the 80s. obscure bands with eclectic music and names. without a band like Japan, Duran Duran dont find success. david sylvian was a brilliant lead vocalist. haunting, mesmerizing, artsy....'life in tokyo' , 'the quiet life' , 'ghosts', 'the art of parties'. yes please....more 80s new wave!!! also a special shout out to martha and the muffins 'echo beach'. definitely a must hear!!

The Furs are a very unique and versatile New Wave band. They have a few Punk tunes on the first 3 albums. For ultimate intrigue, though, the song "Sister Europe" has an excellent Sax solo..

P-furs were one of the coolest new wave bands. You guys did a couple of John Hughs 80s movies "Ferris Buellar, Planes, Trains and Automobiles" He made a great movie and named it after the P-furs' song , "Pretty in pink" good song too. Thanks for all the punk/new wave it's so great to hear. 😂🎉

Another song from the same era (came out the following year) that incorporates xylophone in a cool way: "Gone Daddy Gone" by Violent Femmes.

[@shelq3814]

I don't know what they would make of the Femmes, but it would be fun to see them react to Blister in Ths Sun and Add It Up! One of my favorite bands of all time. I remember my high school boyfriend was a MAJOR music fan and DJ-ed the dances at his high school. He made a lot of mix tapes on cassette and I will never forget Mix #3 - the first song on it was Blister in the Sun and my life was never the same after that...fell in love with 80s alternative from then on. I remember when REM released their first album Murmur, before before they hit the top 40 later inthe 80s and were considered alternative. Love them so much too but it seems like people on this channel only suggest their top 40 songs. Sorry for rambling on so much....

Saw these guys in Sydney earlier this year (or was it last year?) nearly 40 years since I last saw them; same lineup, sounded great and Richard Butler still had the voice (mostly!). What I found amazing was the amount of 20-somethings front and centre trying to get Butler’s attention. It only occurred to me then that the 80’s music culture revival is actually drawing the old bands back to touring, it’s not for us old farts in the wings...

[@denismansfield8876]

The Furs have been touring since their beginning. I've seen them 6 times since 1981, I believe. Richard Butler used to sing with a cigarette in hand (like Brian Ferry of Roxy Music) until sometime mid to late 80s. I've seen the Furs twice this millenia, and I hear a clearer and improved voice. My last concert seeing them in 2018, the band was great, his voice was the best, and Richard Butler was very entertaining as always. I prefer their early tunes like India and Into You Like a Train. However, every album was a new sound, and you can't go wrong with President Gas, Heaven, Alice's House, and Ghost in You.
