The 80's saw music pushed out in every direction, from Hip Hop, to Hardcore Punk, Thrash Metal, Death Metal, Chicago House, Techno, and a whole lot more. The development of musical technology leading to experimental creativity, combined with a musical grassroots that was allowed to grow and flourish before big money came to absoluely dominate the music industry and make it difficult for smaller artists to keep their heads above water.

One of the best songs of the 1980's, made by Siouxsie & the Banshees.

[@hopeofdarkness]

Simply one word: Masterpiece

[@flavio1crazy]

Grateful for having been young in the 80s and being able to listen to this band's sound and have the chance to listen and enjoy good times still......

[@lancehead5217]

The undisputed Queen of Punk. Everything about her was just right. The look, voice, psychedelic or gothic fashion, and the repertoire. 👍

[@Skiamakhos]

Poly Styrene was more punk tbh. Siouxsie was part of the Bromley Contingent but her music was never particularly punk. A founder artist of goth music, but like, if you look at The Damned, their early stuff is punk AF, and Dave Vanian was rocking the proto-goth look even back then, before their music became mellower & darker. X-Ray Spex were way more punk than Siouxsie and the Banshees.

[@healingenso7923]

@@Skiamakhos - Beat me to it. Poly had the strongest voice I ever heard and going from Oh Bondage! to Germfree Adolescents is am amazing range. But still, I was 17 and always wanted to be Siouxsie.

[@RossBayCult]

McGeoch’s picking style fit perfectly with the Banshees sound. Their best lineup by a mile and I can hear the influence on Johnny Marr’s guitar playing.

[@carljules3123]

And the picking style on Israel obviously influenced what Robert Smith played on the song Fascination Street

[@RossBayCult]

@@carljules3123 100% true

[@pauledwards5961]

Good to hear players like Frusciante saying that they were influenced by McGeoch. Love his work with PiL too.

[@pearljam619]

Love the bass line to this.

[@SebastianRodriguez-cq3qu]

One of the best, though underrated, drummers ever, along with S. Morris of NO.

[@silkygirl699]

I love Siouxsie,,she was way out there,and totally ahead of her time , her and Debbie Harry defined an era of great female Artists...

[@joachimpeiper8076]

Banshees deserved to go gold in 1980-81. They had written masterpieces more than other bands... Post wave/post punk at its best

In that song, I loved their progressive alternative-punk sound.

[@richardgrant418]

Those quirky keyboards, the drumming fills - and Sioxsie’s melodic goth voice - MAGNIFICENT
