What is your favorite Siouxsie & The Banshees song? Mine would probably be "Spellbound".

"Peek-a-boo" it was the first one I ever heard by them. I bought the album after I heard it. I still play it once in awhile on my show :)

Peek-A-Boo

I'm a major Siouxsie fan, and I had to vote in the "Other" category, as my fave, "Face To Face" was not there. "This Wheel's On Fire" is also a fave.

I heard that the Banshees are doing a US reunion tour soon, I hope everyone that goes has heaps of fun! I'd love to see them!
I saw & met The Creatures a few years ago in Sydney, which was great, but it's not the Banshees!

From these choices, "Kiss them for me," otherwise "The last beat of my heart" from Peepshow. (That does show that I'm a later convert, but I like their older albums too ;) )

I've only ever heard the one song, (maybe.....I can't remember if I have heard the others...though I prolly have)....so my vote goes to Kiss Them For Me.

Another vote for Spellbound, though I really like Dear Prudence too.

I had to vote for "Peek-a-Boo"... gotta love that accordian Polka Punk sound going on!!! :D

I voted for Cities in dust. Its a great dance song and good to sing along to.

I voted for other, my favorite is "The ghost in you". :p

Man, what a tough choice. I voted for Israel but could so easily have picked any number of songs. Wheels On Fire and You're Lost Little Girl are my favourite covers. Dazzle, Cities In Dust, Arabian Nights are incredible too. :)

Hi everyone! Well my vote goes for Souixsie's Kiss Them For Me. I just love the beat!

Good one Stacy!
It was hard, but I voted for 'other' and yes it's another 90's song that is my favorite from Siouxsie, it's "Face To Face". That songs arrangement and her little cat growl make it irresistable! :thumb:

Peek-A-Boo

Nightshift is my favorite.

I voted for Dear Prudence, it was probably the first Siouxsie Song I heard and I took an instant like to them from then.

Had to vote other, onacounta *anyting* off of Juju gets my crank turning. :D

I just got 2 Siouxsie tickets for the NYC show!!! whoo-hoo! I can't wait. So far, 6 of my friends are all going. I can't wait. Last time I saw her with The Creatures, she did 3 old Banshees songs....I'm hoping she'll do a "Best of" show that spans her entire career. That would be amazing.

You know I'm jealous, Xis!!! I know that you will have a great time at the concert!!!! :)

is not on the list but I voted for it on the "Other" category.



The Duck Man

Cities In Dust for me. Great song by a great band. The Greatest Hits CD is a purchase I will never regret.

Peek-a-boo, infectious song!

I know it was another one, but without listening to their greatest hits, "Peek-A-Boo" is the only one that comes to mind right now.

I voted for Cities In Dust.

I like most of her songs. She has such a good voice.

"he Passenger" is my favorite

Peek-A-Boo

My favorite Siouxsie song would have to be "Red Light" though I also enjoy "Arabian Knights".

that's not a fair question! lol! i love all that sioux has done, especially as the creatures. although "nicotine stain" used to be my fave, "exterminating angel" has more recently injected itself into my being with its metaphorical correlation with "the taste of jagged glass" & "menstrual streams".

babooshka

Cities In Dust - the first song I really noticed :)

great post!!! but i cannot choose. i enjoy all siouxsie, and my faves include: mirage, nicotine stain, voodoo dolly, right now, exterminating angel, the last beat of my heart, el dia de los muertos, & burn up.

I love Cities in Dust!

today it's Cascade.

i don't think I can choose just one..

"Killing Jar"
and
"Kiss them for me"

'Last beat of my heart" too.

:D :)

I liked spellbound.

I'd have to say "Israel", "Arabian Knights" & "Hong Kong Garden" are my top three SATB songs.

Really tough choices, but my vote went to Kiss Them For Me

"Killing Jar" has always been a fav of mine.

I chose Dazzle...it was tough, as I love Happy House & Spellbound, too!!

"Fear (Of The Unknown)" is my fave.

Dear Prudence :)

I chose "Spellbound" but my real fav. is "Last Beat Of My Heart"...and Peek-A-Boo is the worst one...

That's tough I love Dear Prudence but Cities In Dust tugs at my vote strings.

I'd have to say "Israel", "Arabian Knights" & "Hong Kong Garden" are my top three SATB songs.

Yaaaaaay somebody else who likes 'Hong Kong Garden' it was the first SATB single I bought and I just thought the lyrics were mental. :yesnod:

I love Spellbound as well as that was a favourite to dance to 'Back in the day'

Cities in dust

She is going to be in Dallas September 9th!!!

I hope I can go!

LOVE HER! :clap:

Even though "Peek A Boo" was pretty good in concert, I'm going to have to say "Christine (the strawberry girl)".

I voted 'other' I love the song 'Fireworks' that string arrangement in it is so awesome and I LOVE the lyric
"with teeth of gelignite"

That is so sureal and cool!

Dazzle! Anyone else looking forward to seeing Siouxsie at Inland Invasion 4?

I really did like 'Kiss Them For Me'. It was so unlike anything they'd ever done up to that point

:bigangel:
Greetings

Voted 'DP', but it's kind of a tie with 'Last beat of my heart". That song really gets me.

Anyway --had no idea they were touring... could have made it to the Chicago or Detroit show. Can't believe I missed that.

If anyone was able to catch this tour, will you :bowdown: please :bowdown: post a review? Thank you!

Nienna
:bunny:

Wow,too many to name.


I like:


Dazzle
peek a boo
Cities in dust
Kiss them for me.

I voted for Cities In Dust with Ghost In You running close behind.

MrV

Kiss them for me. I love the East Indian vibe/influence in it.

Out of that list, I only knew two of them. I wish I would have been into them back when they were popular, I'm sure I would have loved them all!

Went with Peek a Boo, I just love that little accordion (sp) part (or whatever that is) and it was the first song I heard by them. It reminds me of Halloween for some reason and it has the word peepers in it. It just cracks me up.

"Placebo Effect"

One of their songs had a real springy tune, it wasnt peekaboo or passeger or israel, it went really fast. I heard it on the radio, but the stupid jockey didnt announce the songs name, I may never know.

'killing jar' has always been one of my favs. and 'kiss them for me'. I prob already answered this thread a long time ago, too. there's so many of her songs I love, just can't choose...'Isreal' - great one, Spacehog!
-(hey, haven't heard that name in awhile.) one of my all time fav songs is
'we love the all of you, where grass is green and skies are blue....'
(*goes away singing to herself*)

I loved "Kiss Them For Me". At first, I didn't even realize it was Siouxie because it sounded so different. "Peekaboo" was a lot of fun though.

I haven't heard Fear Of The Unknown Of Happy House, I really like that song Fireworks :thumb:

Spellbound, it used to be on the music loop where I worked, every 3 1/2 hours it would put me in a good mood! :clap:

"She's Cuckoo" believe it or not!!

There's quite a few i dig:

happyhouse
spellbound
cities in dust
peek a boo
kiss them for me
dear prudence

Peek a boo

"Peak A Boo." Truthfully, It's the only one I know. Don't Laugh.

Siouxsie is a band I do not know well, but there's something about it that has always attracted me. I've never owned an album of them or know anything about the band, but it's an attractive band. The only song I know from them is "Kiss them for me", so you can guess where my vote goes.

Kiss them for me :)

My Fave is Spellbound

I had to say other. Their 1978 classic hit hong kong garden is just the best. How can anything beat it? I mean it was the one that started them all.

Wow! Very hard to go through Siouxsie's catalogue and just choose one.
I choose Cities In Dust though I like all of them.
My song at the moment from them is: The Ghost In You.


Magic

I choose for another song: Christine (the strawberry girl). Followed bij Hong Kong Garden and Kiss them for me :)

Cities In Dust!

Carousel! Can't beat the lyrics.. You clamber up, and look behind their watchful eyes their helping hands, a head that's fierce and painted blue with red eyes wants to swallow you...

I'm a die-hard Banshees fan and I would have been happy to vote for any song from the "Ju Ju" album, so my vote went to "Spellbound". I like all the albums up to and including "Hyena". "Tinderbox" is OK, but everything after that I can pretty much do without. I've pretty much ignored the Creatures whole career, I've seen them play a couple of times (just to see Siouxsie) but they never did anything for me. The Banshees, on the other hand, would still tear it up in concert even after their records started to suck.

I just bought Siouxsie's new solo CD and the first 3 songs are really good, but after that it goes downhill, sounding a bit like "Rapture" or some of the Creatures output.

I voted for Kiss Them For Me. I also like Peek-A-Boo, Hong Kong Garden and Christine.

Do a good cover of the Beatles classic Dear Prudence:thumb:

I don't know which one I like best its a tie between Happy House, Spellbound, Cities in Dust, Peekaboo and a couple that aren't mentioned on there Arabian Knights, The Passenger, and Halloween
