Hey Rain!

I see you lurking so what better time to ask you a question, ya?
 
Were you ever into any of the (related) Bauhaus, Love and Rockets, Tones On Tail, Peter Murphy bands?
 
What about Siouxie and the Banshees?
 
Just curious based on some of the bands you have mentioned before.

    Almost sounds as if you were browsing through my record collection. ;)

    As a rule of thumb, if a band dressed in black and/or wore eyeliner and/or sang about death and pain and sorrow, I probably have at least a couple of songs. lol

    Ha!  The funny thing for me is that I usually never saw the bands I liked - it was only a listening thing.

    Others that may or might not be similar that I have include Sisters of Mercy, Smiths, Depeche Mode, Joy Division, Electronic, Lunar Crush (the original - not the jazz fusion one), New Order, Psychedelic Furs, etc., etc.!

    Got any others along that same vein that I just might not have heard of?

    Regardless of how many albums I have, I've learned that there are always others out there that are completely new to me!

    Off the top of my heads, you pretty much named the classics I can think of - at least right now while I'm still sipping my first coffee. :)

     I can't really fit them anywhere but Killing Joke often has a song or two in my playlists w/ those bands.
    I never actually got to see any of them - largely due to the fact that I got into that stuff a bit late and I was living so far from any place where they could have played.


    But these bands are still some of my favorites. That and bands on the electro side like Front 242, Front Line Assembly, Skinny Puppy, Die Form and their dark electro industrial offspring...

    Heh - I totally forgot about the Music Map!  HERE is the result when you put Bauhaus in.

    Killing Joke is the closest match.  There's definitely a few others I've never heard of, so I might need to do a bit of investigation!

    (Good thing I didn't make the topic title "Hay Rain!" ya? ;-)

    There's very few I don't know - if any, actually. :)

    There's many I wouldn't have necessarily thought of, but which are indeed often on similar playlists of mine - Fields of the Nephilim, Black Tape for a Blue Girl (I thought no one else knew that band, lol) Einstürzende, Clan of Xymox, Zeromancer, Switchblade Symphony, etc...
    Another band that shows up close to Bauhaus is Christian Death, I absolutely love their first couple of albums w/ Rozz. The whole death rock scene, and bands like the Misfits...

    A couple of ones I have in my current playlist right now that I don't remember noticing there - 

    Sieben 
    Seraphim Shock
    Qntal
    Nosferatu
    Lacrimosa
    Kirlian Kamera
    Visage
    Faith and the Muse
    Abney Park (fellow Sonar users, IIRC)
    Neon Judgement

    And too many other to list. 
    Many of these only have one or two songs I dig, but I couldn't be w/o those.

    Yeah!  NOW we're talking.  I've got to take off for a little while but, when I return, I'm going to go through that list and see how many I'm missing - this should be fun!  Thanks!

    (Too many others to list?  You just HAD to say that didn't you?  Now I'm definitely curious!)

    On a couple slightly different tangents, how about Machines of Loving Grace or Camoflage?

    Machine of Loving Grace, yes - they had a song on the The Crow Soundtrack, so that would have been impossible for me not to know them. :P

    You got me on Camoflage though - I don't think I know them. I'll have to check them out.
    You know, one of the coolest thing which happened recently is that nullsoft finally ported Winamp to Mac, so I can either access my old playlists or at least stream music directly from HDs and DVDs w/o having to import them (like iTunes tries to do by default).

    I'll see if I can find a couple more after the session. :)

    Of course, the "correct" spelling is Camouflage...  HERE is one of their most popular songs.

    HERE is another.

    I just got home (had to work out of town all day) so I'm going to begin checking out that long list of yours probably in the morning.

    If I may butt in ......  ( I guess I just did anyway! )
     
    Here's some examples of my favourites from that period / style (ish) ....  maybe nothing new here for you.....no idea if they made it across the pond or not....
     
    http://youtu.be/-2up4WUQod0     The Mission
     
    http://youtu.be/8I8mWG6HlmU     The Cult
     
    http://youtu.be/_LGZzVo0A8U       The Damned - from the album Phantasmagoria which was kind of frowned upon by die hard fans, but not being a particular fam of their other stuff, I thought it was great. Also one of my all-time  favourite album cover pics.

    Go ahead and butt in!

    (And, yep, I've got all of those!  BTW - Over "here" the Mission is called the Mission UK for some reason.)

    How about something a bit more industrial?  I've got all of albums from Machines Of Loving Grace and wish they had more...

    HERE is their most well-known song.

    (Edit:  Oops!  Looks like I did mention them before, oh well, now you have a song link too. ;-)

    Again, nothing particulary obscure or revealing I guess, but some more faves of mine........
     
     http://youtu.be/lzoW9SY541s   ......anything from this album
     
    and a bit of a departure in terms of style, but I always loved this Furs re-mix, much better than the original, this was the soundtrack to my life back in the day...... http://youtu.be/J-I6x-tP3nk
     
    Ok, you guys can go back to your obscure / artsy stuff talk now.....thanks for reminding me of some stuff I need to dig out again anyway !

    Been listening to a few of the above mentioned bands (got a lot to still explore though - this is fun!).

    I've had Killing Joke on all night and I've really been enjoying what I've heard with the only exception being some of the vocals (especially the rough kind with the "colorful" language - I can do without those).  On their self-titled album I really like the guitar tones!

    But yeah, I know what you mean.

    Merde non?

    ( )

    I'm listening to some later works and the vocals are much better - smoother.  Going to be hard to try another band for a bit...  Hehe.

    Yeah, they had a long and interesting career and covered a lot of ground. First time I've heard about them was when Metallica covered one of their song on Garage Days - circa 87-ish. That's pretty much the way we discovered bands back then where I lived - liner notes and cover versions.

    Anyway, it wasn't until the early 90s that I really discovered them - and a few tracks off Pandemonium I used to play quite a bit when I was a DJ.

    FWIW, if it gives you an idea, that's stuff that played in between the likes of Front Line Assembly, Front 242, Ministry, NIN, Skinny Puppy and such. Stuff w/ heavy guitars and all the so-called electro-industrial music scene.

    Well, you know me, I can't stand heavy guitars. 

    Add that to female vocals and, well, that's why I also have a lot of Lacuna Coil, Flowing Tears and Evanescence!
