Siouxie has never gotten the flowers she and the band so richly deserve. They are about as subtle as a head on collision but the music is sooo damn impactful and melodic in some of the weirdest and most fabulous of ways. Superstition is a masterclass in just over the top melodic meditation in the form of Siouxie's voice. Sooo completely underrated that it is a damn shame!

I was just a kid when Siouxsie & The Banshees, plus their contemporaries, released all this. By the late 80s as a teen, our group was into them. But the thing that struck me looking back is how in the US, you really had to dig to find this music. Being a kid confined to radio in that time was really limiting.

I love you so much for making this video. And my favorite song by them is Arabian Knights. Spellbound is definitely a masterpiece along with the whole Juju album tho. And it would great if you'd make more videos of Goth bands. Like maybe Fields of the Nephilim or Clan Of Xymox. Fields Of The Nephilim is an interesting Goth rock band. Because they included elements of psychedelic rock and a wee bit of heavy metal. And Clan Of Xymox is seen as a very important band. Gor being the band who defined Darkwave music a very important sub-genre for the subculture.

[@paleksander5192]

So good that you've focused on the first, most intriguing period of Siouxsie. "Spellboud" and "Arabian Knights" are thrilling numbers. After 1981 there were ups and downs, but I always admired how much this band has developed - from simple songs like "Hong Kong Garden" to orchestral arrangements in "Dazzle" "Overground" or amazing "Swimming Horses". Siouxsie is in a class of its own, always credible as a singer and songwriter.

[@monsterguyx]

Being into music during the late 70's and 80's was amazing, John Peel was the DJ to listen to there was a new band every night, all post punk, Anarcho Punk and everything alternative, it was the right time to get yourself into a band, not to be famous or wealthy as it is today but to play dark and dingy sleeze pits , pubs and clubs and of course the local polytechnic with a small stage so everybody can share the experience, I don't know what's happened to the music today but it doesn't compare to what was around back then I'm glad I had my youth then, music back then made you what your were and many my generation haven't changed that mentality, it's all anarchy !

[@tangledandfar]

Thank you for another interesting and well thought-out video. Spellbound is one of a handful of songs that I can remember vividly hearing for the first time. I heard it as a kid on MTV in the early 80s amidst a sea of limp synth-pop and cheesy heavy metal and it completely captivated me. The drums, the guitar, her voice, the galloping driving rhythm, and it was so atmospheric. It really planted the seeds for the kind of music I was attracted to from then on. Juju remains one of my favorite albums of all time.

[@4Mr.Crowley2]

I was lucky enough to see S&tB perform live on three occasions - once while I was still in high school. I’ve adored Siouxsie for decades. Her voice, lyrics, and musicality are just brilliant and very sophisticated. Budgie and the boys also *never* got the RESPECT they deserved. As much as I loved/love their recorded work, their presence on stage as live performers - specifically Siouxsie - was both gorgeous and devastating - that sounds like a strange characterization but Siouxsie had a much more energetic and *forceful* stage presence, combined with that beautifully unique voice, than I expected for some reason. It was simultaneously aggressive (still a punkish vibe even if they don’t like that term) and extremely seductive. Her moves were so graceful and feline but also extremely direct and powerful - and she uses that voice like a whip. It’s amazing.

[@ericthered64]

Great video as always, but I have to point out one error. You misidentified Steve Severin in the photo of the Bromley Contingent @1:32. He's actually the one right next to Siouxsie Sioux. The man you highlighted instead is a gentleman by the name of Simon Barker.

[@davidm78]

Thank you for this amazing video about my favorite band ever!!!....Siouxsie and the Banshees. I love this band because they NEVER conformed! Siouxsie at one time refused to perform on MTV because they wanted to flash only her name in the background. There are no words for their music. It was so different and so addictive that my favorite album changes all the time! As for JuJu, Monitor and Headcut really captured my attention when I first heard the album. I first discovered SATB in 1998. A friend of mine handed me a copy of Twice Upon A Time. I kick myself on this next part, I let that CD sit on my shelf for almost TWO WEEKS before I listened to it........I was never the same! I consider myself very lucky that I was a fanatic of SATB by the time they decided to reunite for the Seven Year Itch Tour! I was there for 4 shows during that tour! Amazing! Siouxsie And The Banshees ❤

[@carne_verde]

I would argue that _Join Hands_ was by far SATBs' 'bleakest' album. Also, John McGeoch deserves to be recognised as the creator of the post-punk 'treated' delay effects pedal guitar sound - massive shame he'd die so young at 48.

[@SmartCookie2022]

I can still recall meeting both Siouxie and Budgie in the audience of a Soft Cell concert, early Eighties. There she was, with her crazy black hair and intimidating make-up, looking quite scary... However, when I strolled up and asked her for her autograph, she was the most down-to-earth, nicest person you could hope to meet. Very chatty, and so was Budgie.
