Why call yourself Richard when you are neither Rich nor Hard, eh?

That song would have been better if they had kept it under 3 minutes.
They were on some Tales from Topographic Oceans trip on that one...
Dare I say that the Banshees had better b-sides than PIL's anything?

And they ended up sounding like U2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When Siouxie tours, the shows sell out.
When PIL tours, they have to open for New Order.

I saw the Banshees headline at the same ampitheatre that PIL opened for New Order at.
Your point being?
My point being that success is good and the Banshees are successful and that's good.
None of this I'm indie and sell 3 records to my best friends and am more famous for being a producer...,I mean "engineer", for them, thank you.

Ok then.
10 great to good albums for the Banshees, compared to 2 1/2 for the Limited.
Still active and in their prime, compared to way past their prime and not even doing anything like their original vision but still calling it the same band.
Proof enough.
Siouxie never had to reform anything, nor marry an heiress, and has always had better hair.

PiL sure weren't any kind of crap when I saw 'em several geological eras ago with Levene and Wobble; then again when I saw them about six years later in an arena-ish setting with the Sugarcubes and New Order, my friend's remark pretty much said it all: "Oh look, somebody spray-painted Rod Stewart." Still, their first 3 or 4 records -- I'm counting Paris Au Printemps, the fantastic and often overlooked live album -- effectively obliterate all their later ultra-crap (along with about 98% of all other music) as far as I'm concerned, so duh, Not Crap.
Betcha Didn't Know!: Wobble, not Lydon, sings "Albatross" until the "Only the loooonely!" bit at the end.

I saw them with Levene (not sure if Wobble was still involved). There was some astonishment over the cover price (about $8.00), but they were great. I believe that Brian Brain (Martin Atkins) was their drummer at the time.
