Love & Rockets = a more realized, fleshed out Tones on Tail, basically. Now Love & Rockets versus Bauhaus....there's your question.

God that was a terrible analogy. I must be getting drunk.
Love and Rockets vs. Peter Murphy - hmm. Peter wins, but only just. I had some friends that were Murphy nuts and really really overplayed some of his best stuff in my presence. Still love that first album, though.

"Go,' "Twist," "Movement of Fear," "OK This is the Pops," "There's Only One," "Happiness," "Performance"...one of the most underrated groups of the mid-80s.
Not such a big "Slender Fungus" fan, though.

And Pop is almost a flawless album...completely flawless if you can tolerate "Slender Fungus" (I'm getting there). Besides that it's eight for eight.

Even though I probably like Tones on Tail a little bit more. And will most likely be hung on the gallows for saying so.

Tones On Tail >>> Bauhaus >> Love & Rockets >> David J. >>>> Peter Murphy >>>>>>> Daniel Ash
Keep in mind I love love love Bauhaus, so this is sayin a lot.
― Mackro Mackro, Tuesday, 19 February 2008 22:12 (sixteen years ago) link
You're suggesting that David J's solo work is preferable to Daniel Ash's?
LAY OFF THAT CRACK, SON!
― Alex in NYC, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 00:28 (sixteen years ago) link
i can live without daniel OR david's solo stuff. they've both made their fair share of poo.

I have to agree on David over Daniel when it comes to solo stuff.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 00:53 (sixteen years ago) link
Tones on Tail is the best thing any of those folks ever did. By miles.
And I really like Bauhaus and Love & Rockets. It's just that Tones on Tail is some of the best music ever.

So, was there ever another version of Go! (besides teh "club mix")?
― Bobbi Peru, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 02:46 (sixteen years ago) link
"Go!" sounds like two separate songs spliced together. The former part is a dubbed out instrumental version, then it splices into the "original" when the verses start. I presume there's a regular version somewhere in the vaults.. but you know, the Club Mix was definitive enough I guess.
― Mackro Mackro, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 06:31 (sixteen years ago) link
I want a studio version cover of "Heartbreak Hotel"! I kinda like the deep-in-a-well-on-a-rusty-walkman recorded live version, but you know... There should be a 10-year anniversary followup to Everything! called Sike More Lol!
― Mackro Mackro, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 06:33 (sixteen years ago) link
lions is one of the best songs ever.
― s1ocki, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 06:35 (sixteen years ago) link
that whole pop album (u.k. version) is fucking brilliant. one of the best psych albums of that decade! (one of my faves to listen to on acid back then too)
― scott seward, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 06:52 (sixteen years ago) link
That would make it a psych album.

I heard "O.K. This Is The Pops" today, and it was so good it made me want to kick the super of my building squarely in the shins. I want to do that anyway, but it would be so much more satisfying to do it while "O.K. This Is The Pops" was playing. I'm-a make that happen.

Listening to it right now. It's a banger.
I love Tones on Tail. They were freer and looser than either Bauhaus or Love and Rockets.
Taking sides, though? Bauhaus is the source.
