Danielle Dax wins this easily b/c "we buy a hammer for daddy" and "jesus egg that wept" are so great, plus she pwned carcass w/thee cover ov "pop-eyes", plus all her albums, and many of her songs have this kind of richly perverse vibe abt them that is kind of thrilling & scary, which rocks. Plus, her compilation album is called something like "the thwarted pop career of danielle dax", I guess there's also this whole odd humour about her whole act, which I find tremendously appealing.

I kind of like the idea of Diamanda Galas, and I always enjoy reading interviews w/her, but a little bit of her musick goes a long way for me.

Nina Hagen's music, I don't really care foir much.

The original question shd perhaps have included Lydia Lunch. Lydia might have won this just for "Queen of Siam".

I did a quick search for Danielle Dax on teh int4rw3b, it seems she's a garden designer now!! Like Kim Wilde? Blimey...

Or her spoken word CDs. Wow. Uncensored Oral Fixation... wonderfully stress-inducing. Anything that starts with the words "...Dear...Whores..."
Damn.

Anyhow...
to finish off this thread:
Dax, Hagen, Galas...Search and Destroy (so I know what tracks to hunt for the next time on WinMX.)

Ah Danielle. Best thing about the last World Dom gig I saw (band dies onstage) was that she smiled at my mate.

What's this "pwn" thing by the way? Pash says it a lot.
