Love and Rockets vs. Bauhaus vs. Bay City Rollers

[aquaman]

I have always been a Love and Rockets fan and listen to them more than I do Bauhaus. However, when I feel a Little freaky, the Bay City Rollers send me flying. :)

1. Bella Lugosi's Dead

Get over it! Move on!

[aquaman]

3. Minutemen fan are you?

One of my favs of all time.

[DBoon]

13. Yes, and I'm from 'Pedro too

eom

[enigmatic]

2. My wife says Bay City Rollers

I love her nonetheless:)

[aquaman]

4. I put that one in for your wife....

I knew that you would respond to that one. :)

[enigmatic]

6. Ha!

She's been telling me to put "Saturday Night" on the show; I'm going to finally relent, dammit!

[aquaman]

8. Tell me when,

I must listen to it then and there so I can imagine your face as it is playing. I guess you should play it tomorrow huh, being Saturday and all?

[enigmatic]

11. Yep!

I'm going to tape it off her scratchy vinyl copy and convert it into an mp3 to get the retro effect:)

[aquaman]

16. Cool....

What time?

[Turn CO Blue]

5. But there was a psy-ops campaign...

We were young girls and didn't know any better...and the Bay City Rollers had album cover photos of them in verrryyy tight pants, with rolled up socks or something stuffed in there...

Really stupid to think about now(shudders). Anyway, I really liked that song "S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night"!

9. My wife's favorite song!

A punk band I played in ages ago did a turbo-charged version; I wish I still had the tape of that..

[aquaman]

15. I used to be a drummer in a "thrash blues band."

We covered:
Lynyrd Skynyrd: Free bird :)
Cream: Sunshine of Your love
Nancy Sinatra: These Boots Were Made for Walking
Prince: When Doves Cry
to name a few, it's fun to make other band's songs your own.

14. Love is blind

Love is also sometimes deaf

7. Give it up for "Love and Rockets", c'mon:

[aquaman]

10. I hear ya

[KyndCulture]

12. Love and Rockets for sure... The Bubblemen and Motorcycle.

[khashka]

17. Is this serious?

The answer is Bauhaus. Bela Lugosi's Dead, In The Flat Field, God In An Alcove, Third Uncle, Party Of The First Part....

Bauhaus, no question. Love And Rockets was just wanna be Bauhaus. And the Bay City Rollers? Even I'm not that much of a girl.


Khash.

[aquaman]

18. only you know whether this is serious or not.....

Bauhaus was the shit I agree, but for some reason I liked Love and Rockets just as much.

[Duncan Grant]

19. wanna be?!

You're really Peter Murphy, aren't you! Confess! :evilgrin: :thumbsup:

[aquaman]

20. LOL.

[khashka]

21. I wondered how long it would take.....

No, I am not Peter Murphy. Yes, I detest him. Yes, I would drink his sweat anyway. One of those weird love/hate relationships.
I was this weird geeky goth kid. Siuoxsie invented Goth and Peter Murphy perfected it.

But Love and Rockets? Are you kidding me?

Khash.

[Duncan Grant]

22. LOL. ;)

From one Siouxsie fan to another; I'll say that maybe cheap sentiment is clouding my judgment tonight. There was an AIDS crisis back then (not to be a huge downer here) and a few old friends - long gone - and I liked "Love and Rockets".

The next time I have an opportunity to crank up some Bauhaus - I'll listen with 'new'/old ears. :hi: :D

[khashka]

23. Yeah Peter Murphy really pissed me off

that whole "I wanna die of AIDS in Paris" thing was way too much for me. I watched too many friends die and his comment was not funny or cool.
However, Siouxsie.... I just downloaded "Cities In Dust" to my ipod. That girl seriously rocks. "Poppy Daze" gets me really angry. "Ornaments of Gold" is both the most romantic and the most cynical song ever.

And only Siuoxsie can do Iggy Pop better than he does himself....

But I have "Israel" and "Arabian Nights" on constant replay so I'm not the most impartial person......

Khash.

[aquaman]

24. Well to be honest.....

I would pick Siuoxsie over any of them, I have been in love with her for many years. Shhhh, don't tell my wife......

[khashka]

25. Well to be honest

you are a man of good taste.

But I won't tell your wife.


Khash.

26. I'm not a fan of doomy rock

But Peter Murphy had a great voice--live recordings of some of Bauhaus' tunes are pretty impressive for that reason.
