More credence for the "'Dear Prudence' is actually shitty" theory.

With the upcoming heatwave, it might be time to give '92 Degrees' a few spins! OMG I love that song..

The version I saw at Lollapalooza still disturbs my soul. (Arguably it even crucifies my chest.)

It is a little alarming to realize how much Siouxsie Schtick Karen O has appropriated (actually The Yeah Yeah Yeahs sound like they put Scream-era Banshees on heavy repeat for the entirety of their teenage years but that's another thread) but I'll take it in whatever form I can get it.

(Apparently I am the only person who thinks "Dear Prudence" is deeply embarrassing.)

Right there with ya, Dan. Never liked their cover of "Dear Prudence."

The Nocturne version of 'Dear Prudence' is appalling - but I quite like the shimmering quality of the single.

Conversely, every version of "Helter Skelter" is awesome, including U2's.

[Also that Jon Klein was sacked for hair-loss...Before reading that I always thought there was a rock'n'roll gene that somehow ensured that an unlikely percentage of males in the music business (except Elton John & Phil Collins) keeps a full head of hair.]

This is kind of all the reasons why I hate people encapsulated in an evil little parable.

I've been wanting to buy A Kiss in the Dreamhouse for years and years but keep waiting for the remaster and it never seems to come. *frowns*

Everything up to the "Song From the Edge Of The World" 12" has much merit.
Not too familiar with their output post - "Peek A Boo"

They had some problems with lyrics, for example this one from Arabian Knights:
Whilst you conquer more orificesOf boys, goats and things
(oh 'things' - that'll do)
but the texture of their music is fantastic.

you have to forgive them for 'things' since the previous line uses Whilst and orifices. I always like how often SATB use the word 'Whilst'

"Waiting FOOOOOOR a sign..."
Listening to a okay-enough sounding recording from Southampton on the Juju tour in 1981 right now. Such a great band.

From 1983 until 1986 the only (then) new music i bothered with was the Banshees.
Nothing else seemed even vaguely interesting, although there was much hilarity.

I was just thinking of Siouxsie the other day -- I saw the 4CD box set used the other day, wondered if i shouldn't go ahead and pick it up. i have all but maybe two of the studio albums. is this worth my money?
