taking sides: Tones on Tail vs Bauhaus

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.

"Oooo-oooo-oooo..."

Call it prejudice if you must.

Man, I haven't heard TOT in way too long. Don't know where all the funky coloured vinyl records got packed away to.

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 vs. Bauhaus is a tough one, but Tones on Tail >>>>>>>>> Love and Rockets for sure.

Right, it's ToT.

"I just did a track with an old Tones on Tail song"

- Lil Jon on the topic of his album Crunk Rock

WAHT.

I am a sucker for"Go!" btw, if nothing else cause of its use in the Grosse Pointe Blank soundtrack =D

baby baby baby wants an empire

Just the other day I was wondering if Lil Jon liked Nitzer Ebb.

Well who wouldn't dammit!

!!!

Further reasons why Lil Jon rules.

Wait, !!! don't like Nitzer Ebb?

OL I gotta put the beers down.

See I can't even type, gah. /Bimble.

I missed the Lil' Jon/"Go!" thing!

YSI

Also

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.

You're suggesting that David J's solo work is preferable to Daniel Ash's?

LAY OFF THAT CRACK, SON!

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.

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.

Alex in NYC doesn't dig adult contemporary?

So, was there ever another version of Go! (besides teh "club mix")?

"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.

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!

lions is one of the best songs ever.

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)

That would make it a psych album.

You people be mean about solo David J. Three words: the Jazz Butcher Conspiracy!

Anyway, speaking of David J:

OTM

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.

holy shit. ned are you going to see that? crazy.

so corny

Love & Rockets < Bauhaus < Tones On Tail < The Sinister Ducks.

holy shit. ned are you going to see that? crazy.

Didn't know it existed before today. Could be fun!

That girls looks more like Diamanda Galas than Edie Sedgwick. I'm just sayin'.

So it's not QUITE Tones on Tail but

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.
