Episode 548 is SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES. There was a goth girl at my high school who was really into Siouxsie and the Banshees and, despite never having heard their music, I declared that therefore I hated the band. Many decades passed and I have gotten into many other bands that also emerged from the late-70s UK punk scene (Wire, Buzzcocks, Stranglers, etc.). So I thought Siouxsie and the Banshees deserved a try. Well, I didn’t dislike it for the reasons that I thought I would have hated it in the 1980s. But I still didn’t like it. I found their music … boring. And Siouxsie Sioux’s wailing annoying. I don’t want to write off all things labeled “goth rock” because of this, but it doesn’t help.
