'Shells'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Anyone like Wall of Voodoo? What albums of theirs are good (besides Call of the West, which is the only one of theirs I have)? ?
The first album (Dark Continent) and the Wall of Voodoo EP are great. After Ridgway left they weren't very good. He brought a LOT to the band.
I also agree with Hec on his solo albums. The Big Heat, Mosquitoes and Partyball are all good.

iTunes and eMusic don't have those albums, so I'll have to remember to get them next time I order from Amazon or something.
So instead I went to eMusic and grabbed two Led Zeppelin albums I didn't have digital versions of.
So, does Houses of the Holy suck?

No, but Physical Graffiti is the hammer of the gods.
I love "Lost Weekend," "Factory," "They Don't Want Me" and "Mexican Radio" (their big MTV "hit")....
I thought "Far Side Of Crazy" was a bigger hit than "Mexican Radio". Do I have this wrong?
Maybe in Australia, it was. Here, "Mexican Radio" was all over the video music channels.

No, Mexican Radio was a hit here too. Just not as big as Far Side of Crazy. That's the part that surprised me, that apparently it didn't even warrant a mention in Tommy's list.

That's from after when Stan Ridgeway left. Probably the only post-Ridgeway song I like of theirs. Or the only one that stuck with me long enough to like it.

I don't think I've ever heard that song.
ION, just downloaded the soundtrack to Kick Ass. I love the version of "This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us." Is this the original version (it's by the Sparks)? I love the Siouxie and the Banshees version.
Also, great cover of the Banana Splits theme song by The Dickies.

Yes, the Sparks version is the original. It was a hit in the UK (are we seeing a theme) but not in the U.S. Siouxsie did a whole album of covers including that.
