I haven’t relistened yet but I just recalled the line “cursed and pissed into the ocean” which pleases me greatly

I voted for the Strawberry Girl

It's very boring to vote for "Happy House"...but it's "Happy House". It's such a good showcase for the Budgie/Severin/McGeoch mind-meld.
I love Juju, but the consensus that it's a huge step up from Kaleidoscope is nuts to me. All of its weird sharp corners are delightful, and I could vote for anything on here, even (especially?) "Lunar Camel".

Desert Kisses

Wesert Kisses, such an incredible, dreamy, twisted-up swirl, a vortex of imagery. From there we got the Cocteau Twins

It's between "Trophy", "Clockface" and "Paradise Place" for me.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Brilliant record. Going for 'Red Light' today but would be something another day. Minimal wave Banshees is something I wish there was more of (Slap Dash Snap is also fun in a transistor Factory Benelux way).
Had Drop Dead/Celebration been on the album it would probably be my vote at most times.

you folks talked me into it, went for "Desert Kisses" (also for the line I quoted above).

I'm voting like Alfred and vote for something no-one else has mentioned "Skin."

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

The results are fair enough, although 'Paradise Place' deserved at least one vote. The song always reminded me of this grim brutalist square in Birmingham.

Couldn't not vote "Christine". Christine is just about a "Oh Carol", "Dinah" mom-grandma name song.

Looks like the name peaked in the US around the time the Banshees were born
