Del álbum "Scream" (1972). Mi canción favorita de, lejos, la mejor banda post-punk :P (From the album "Scream", 1972. My favourite song from the best post-punk band :P)
Originators of a genre of music all their own, on their own, an entirely new species of musicians evolved from that era. unheard of at that time or even now. A very rare breed to say the least. Never have gotten tired of listening to most of their songs.
If anything the Banshees might be in danger of being overrated, but never underrated . They've always been beloved by fans and critics quite rightly. Incredibly original, massively influential.
Punk, post punk, just labels people! Punk by it's essence means you don' t conform. Siouxsie and the Banshees never conformed, make up you mind where they fit. For me they just fit, as a unique music influence. Been listening to them again over the last year and they still sound special/different to me, iconic, emulators around, maybe, but they have a place very special to anyone in to music in the late 70's and 80's.
This album is from 1978 not 1972 but is really ahead of that time. The band was in punk scene but the sound was not pure punk, it had different elements. Lovely!
yes it had elements of beatles effects also on the vocals, guitar..the guitar of the cure and the banshees both took from the beatles style picking and did also Joy division...plus guitar techniques from the kinks.
@@angelicosmic at that point of time Joy Division only had 4 released songs so chaotic that Siouxsie couldn't have taken anything from them, Siouxsie were far superior and already stars.
@@krasteff If you understood what i meant,I meant that Joy division also took from earlier bands and their effects techniques in the studio...Many bands take various styles and effects from what had gone before..if you listen to jim morrisons vocals on strange days you can hear similar effects of some of Siouxsies vocals...I am a musician and have played guitar for 38 years the point i am making is not about who is superior but about where influences and effects techniques came from...Much of the punk era had people who could hardly play their instruments...I know Steve severin personally and he is an excellent bass player...Joy division also used similar sounds and effects...Punk came from the sixties and was coined by the lead singer of the band suicide 'Alan vega' after he saw an Iggy pop and the Stooges gig....The banshees were much more technically astute at playing their instruments than Joy division were then and took similar guitar picking from The beatles...
@@angelicosmic You know, I also personally know some legendary 80's musicians albeit only by the www web, and I have realized that musicians are notorious for not being able to hear what the audience clearly hears. Their role is to play, ours is to listen. I doubt John Peel had your knowledge of guitar picking, he frequently pointed out his only being a good listener. So kudos to your knowledge of guitars etc., but I really don't hear with my outer/middle/inner ear anything in common between Ideal for living and Switch.
@@krasteff I understand you Boris...The problem is when you have played music for 38 years you tend to pull recordings apart and break down the mix and hear what effects are beings used, panning etc...You also tend to hear any similarity to other bands in the guitar style, bass,singing or effect used on the vocals...Any good artist,comedian etc is influence by what has gone before.the sixties had a big influence on what came in the 70's with Marc Bolan,roxy music...You can hear similarities in brian ferry's voice to that of John lennon As even Brian ferry admits he was influenced by them...You can hear buddy holly,little richard and others in the beatles...All the best Boris.
I was born in 1973. So probably about decade too late to really appreciate the this band for its full discography. I can only imagine being in a terrible club with a poor PA and wanting light system for the 1970's, early 1980's. But the intimacy of experiencing S&B in their prime and so pure. I'm pretty goth at heart even though I look like the last person to be so. Man... so much I could have experienced in my teens...
Remember the day I bought the album. Had enough change to buy a huge bag of toffees. Got home, listened to the album, ate all the toffees and threw up. The Scream was, and still is, great. Life was different then, bought All Mod Cons by The Jam about the same time. Am I old or was music just that much better then?
Group with caractere and a swich that I was really appreciated in the world of music, a new wave, sometime a little black very welcome, different and strange, this is what we wishes on this time ...thank to you to you and Sioux and all new wave of the 80' !
Hello! Este relevante; levante!...grupo "post-punk" ha quedado bastante relegado en su estima...creo que merece ser re-visitado y escuchado...ánimo peScadores!!!
Early UK punk was fantastic and what was more brilliant was it spawned bands who expressed themselves much better. Here's a great example...like the Ants, PIL, Killing Joke, Joy Division etc. Either way, fantastic stuff all round.
Remeber listening to this in 1978 at the age of 14. What a christmas: Siouxsie and the Banshees-Scream,PIL-Fist Issue, XTC-Go2,X Ray Spex-Germ Free Adolecents,Police-Regatta de Blanc!! Innocent and happy days and not a hippy festival in sight!!
Much greatness in this unique sound. It wouldnt surprise if a little of bit every post-punk genre since has splintered off this one record, never mind the album.

Kenny Morris's drums and John McKay's (McKay composed the music for their hit 'Hong Kong garden' and most of their 1st and 2nd albums) guitar and Saxophone input on this were a big contributing factor on this album and the follow up 'Join Hands'.
The poster is wrong on the date 1978 is the true date of this album and yes although she did start during punk movement and is one of the forerunners in the punk scene/Bromley contingent, the banshees are considered NOT POST punk to some of us, BUT in the music industry this band IS considered POST punk due to the fact of their success later..not because of her involvement personally early on in the punk scene....anyhow she is the queen🙌 hail!
@@filipematias5127 Both of you are wrong. Voodoo Dolly is the best example of the Gothic Rock genre possible. That later stuff that people call goth "1983 and beyond" is not real goth as goth died after 1982. When the scene started, the genre became an umbrella term for various subgenres such as dark wave being the biggest one. So true gothic rock groups are Siouxsie and the Banshees, Bauhaus, and Joy Division. Any bands after that are not gothic rock! NOTE: Goth songs from these bands include..... Voodoo Dolly by the banshees, In a Lonely Place by Joy Division, and Bela Lugosi's Dead by Bauhaus. FACTS people. No drum machines allowed.
@@nick16279 : There's ONLY a small problem with your reasoning because the terms Goth and Gothic rock weren't used until late 1982/early 1983 and ALL the bands you've mentioned started during the days of the ORIGINAL 1st wave british punk which started in 1976 and ended in 1978 thus being heavily influenced by the overall punk scene albeit adding a more dark gloomy depressed melancolic twist to it! Bands like Sisters of Mercy, The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division, Virgin Prunes and Bauhaus were indeed the beginners of what later became known as the Goth scene but they NEVER called their music gothic or consider themselves to BE goth in any way, shape, manner or form whatsoever: they were simply dark post punk bands!
I know it's all boomer-like and old-fart like to say this, but this music was so much better than almost everything that came out after 1990. And this isn't just a hater's rant. I have evidence: This song, for example.
I met her once, a long time ago. She was as extraordinary in person as you might think.
OMG, how was it???
One of the coolest women who ever lived.
Living
She's only the MOTHER OF ALL GOTHS, simply.
Pure quality. No one sounded like this at the time...
Yeah, one of those things that makes the 80’s awesome if you’re European.
I was listening to this at 18....heighth of starting punk.....xxxx

by who?

Stunning piece of music!

I fell in love with Siouxsie when I heard this song
Brilliant, still one of my all time favourite albums.
my favourite track of all time from the Banshees
And I was born in 1995, but all songs of Siouxsie and Banshees touch my soul.
I love this song! 🎵😍👍🏻

at least you had a head start. i was born 2000 lol

Life was different then, bought All Mod Cons by The Jam about the same time. Am I old or was music just that much better then?
+Chris Lean Both. ...But me too, so you've got company....
Nah, music was much better then. This coming from someone who was born in 1997.
i maybe old but i got to see all the cool bands
still got the scream on cassette!!!
The Jam and Siouxsie in one day, that was brilliant!
lol i was 7 when it was released but i gotta copy sadly the vinyl is gone but the cover is left lol but hey holife is that way
Love the sax on this track
1978. one of the best band for me
great song, great band, great era, great font in the video
scream was released in 1978 nov/dec. switch is in my top 3 songs of all time. the music is spellbinding, WHAT AN ALBUM= THE BEST.
Great song, thanks Suzanne, what happened to us as children, should never happen to any child, the fact that we survived is amazing.
What time and country you lived in while you were child?
Way way ahead of its time,this band was mega advanced!
Simply Quality, getting back into siouxsie and friends from the area, as music now is leaving me wanting, shrugs!
lovely enchanting vocal & insight
Very true song ! Love her ❤️

aaaaa! one of the best songs ever!!!!1
as fresh as a dark daisy.
~~I'd say it's a damn good record whenever it came out. I still listen to it to this day.~~~~~~~
Tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuune and debut album
"Dismissing progress as a mark of devilry" yep
God I love this song
Early UK punk was fantastic and what was more brilliant was it spawned bands who expressed themselves much better. Here's a great example...like the Ants, PIL, Killing Joke, Joy Division etc. Either way, fantastic stuff all round.
The greatest punk band ever
After reading the Crow original comic, I have to assume that this band was an influence on the wardrobe of Eric Draven
ah! mi adorada siux!!!!
capolavoro totale
Great song.
She reminds me of Nico, here.
Here before Nintendo decides to use this for an advert
I'm Dying to Switch
Masterpiece!
So true.....

Buenisimo tema que mas decir sus looks facinante amo a siouxsie
Tremenda vocalista y su propuesta para la epoca 👍⛪🏤🏯🏰🏰🏰
LOVE IT.
Amo su musica desde chile con amor
Wonderful
Remeber listening to this in 1978 at the age of 14. What a christmas: Siouxsie and the Banshees-Scream,PIL-Fist Issue, XTC-Go2,X Ray Spex-Germ Free Adolecents,Police-Regatta de Blanc!! Innocent and happy days and not a hippy festival in sight!!
Regatta de Blanc didn't come out until 1979. I presume you meant Outlandos D'Amour?
Merry christmas.
wow.. Mystic
Much greatness in this unique sound. It wouldnt surprise if a little of bit every post-punk genre since has splintered off this one record, never mind the album.
Very relevant right now in 2020 ....
The voice has a Nico's feel sometimes.
Nico wishes she could sing half as good as Siouxsie, and i bloody love Nico btw, these days and ill be your mirror are some of my all time faves
2018 don't care... Favorite for ever...
78 and they were there at the start of UK punk as was i
So was i
BUT I DONT BANG ON ABOUT IT.
avantgarde of the 70/80 ! Top!
Description: Album "Scream", 1972
BUT it was released in November 1978 and the right album title is "The Scream"
She is the black cat screaming in the night❤️🌺
The day I find a woman that likes this type of music is the day I’ll fall in love.
I look(ed) like her, too. I'm a little younger than she.
Great song

Even better live
If the album had come out in 1972 they could hardly have been called post-punk.
Birger Halvorsen Pre lol
SIMPLY GREAT !!

permaveg And were truly vilified in Drop Dead/ Celebration
Thomas Stanton Good to see Miss Banshee isn't vindictive or that she bares a grudge, lol. Though I believe they have called a truce now.
i was there...missed her!
This was a progressive punk record. I hear The Sex Pistols as well as early Roxy Music influences.
I agree.
@FlyingMonkies325 that just shows how little you know of their actual influences
I’d say post punk.
toujours aussi bon
All time classic. Fan Fucking tastic.
Fantastic. Still more radical than most bands now
How RAD WERE THEY!!!
SOOOOOO RAD!!
That's how rad!!
Rad
late 70's Goth Punk
My favourite song from 1972.

beautiful sad song unik
Best punk band
Buenísssimo!!!
1972 and post-punk. I fear Dr Who has visited her.
+Chris Lean Nah, its where he got his inspiration from..... then he got scared and scaled it down!
and he was disemboweled
Chris Lean HUMPVLIKE A MANIAC!!!
1978
Joder... Como me encanta Siouxsie!!
Joder pues a mi tambien
How to be punk and elegant.
Great song and I love gothic song which called Swich
Very good..
The Hipnothyc sound track of my Tunel of Time in me youth rebel!!!!!
Siouxie wasn't a punk band ,they were up and coming Goth band, still got scream on vinyl still love that gal.
Their origins were punk, as was the Goth movement itself. Goth morphed from both the Punk & New Romantic scenes
The album, "Scream" was actually recorded in either 1977 or 1978 because I know for a fact that it was released in 1978. Just so you know.
Proto - Goth.
+Bat Caver You nailed it!
Not really. It's just Gothic Rock.
@@deletedaccount3077 : No, it's post punk dark underground avant-garde music as it was known back then!
Goth and Gothic rock came much later!
