DiggsUK Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 My personal Cult favorite is 'She Sells Sanctuary', but off your list I would pick Iggy and the Stooges. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In heaven Posted July 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Never Heard of them what are they like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiggsUK Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Top 80s english rock band with roots in Goth (earlier incarnations as 'Southern Death Cult' and 'Death Cult'), but more accessible tunes. Think 'The Mission' and 'Sisters of Mercy' with floral shirts, but IMO much more entertaining. You didn't need to dress in black and 'chicken dance' to 'The Cult'.

R_Soul Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 My personal Cult favorite is 'She Sells Sanctuary', Regards Its funny, because I also thought this was going to be about The Cult! And, I guess they were a cult band. [And pretty good they were too.] From the original list, well Roxy Music were too popular (over here) to be a cult band. But I'd definitely plump for The Pixies anyway. It might be simply because, when they were around (end-80s/beginning 90s), there was very little else happening. Also, because they were a huge influence on other bands, and a spin off was The Breeders, who were also .

Catherine Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Ugh! I also though this was going to be about THE CULT, or Southern Death Cult, as they started off as; they are one of my favorite bands! My favorite "The" Cult tunes are too numerous to list in an unrelated thread! My favorite cult tune = "Love is the Drug" by Roxy Music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In heaven Posted July 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Roxy Music was popular in England? I guessing five people here have probably heard of them and maybe one owns one of their records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_Soul Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Roxy Music was popular in England? I guessing five people here have probably heard of them and maybe one owns one of their records. They were HUGE in the 70s and 80s: Ten Top 10 albums (including 4 No. 1s) Over 400 weeks on the album charts Ten Top 10 singles (including a No. 1 with John Lennon's "Jealous Guy") Didn't they take off in the States at all?

In heaven Posted July 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Before three years ago I had never heard of them and I'm usually up on things. So I would say no they never took off but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXX Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Roxy Music was popular in England? I guessing five people here have probably heard of them and maybe one owns one of their records. They were huge all over the world by the time they broke up in 1983. Thing is, their latest world tour/reunion tour had fans that averaged 35 years of age, so you may be talking to the wrong music fans. Still, if you don't already own Siren and Avalon (or Boys And Girls), your music collection is uninteresting and generic at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_Soul Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 ... if you don't already own Siren and Avalon (or Boys And Girls), your music collection is uninteresting and generic at best. I don't have Siren, Avalon or Boys and Girls and I wouldn't describe my collection as "uniteresting" or "generic". Anyway, cult opinion would dictate that Roxy were better PRE-Siren!

XXX Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Even more reason to own the more popular Roxy Music albums - or at the very least be aware of them I didn't notice it before, but the poll also has Neu! listed Now THAT I'd be a little surprised if more people had heard of them...

Derrrr...I thought the thread was about CULT favourites[?] If you read my earlier post on this thread, you will see that I am quite aware of Roxy Music - their good stuff (with Eno) and their popular, commercial stuff.

Foxy Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Roxy Music get my vote, although split up in the year I was born, apparently I was played their tunes while in utero Guess it continued after birth! I have a huge Roxy Music framed print up on the wall in my hallway, I absolutely love the Avalon and Siren albums. Bryan Ferry still rocks to this day, his album "As Time Goes By" with songs from way back was excellent. He and Roxy Music are the first person / band I remember ever hearing on the radio. It had a huge effect as he has so much yearning and longing in his voice. "Secretly, I wanted to look like Jimi Hendrix, but I could never quite pull it off." - Bryan Ferry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
