I dare you, to be real: Bauhaus - 1979-1983 poll

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

Sad to see "Crowds" and "All We Ever Wanted" with no votes.

I know, after all the times I typed
factreeeee toooowwwwnnnnn

only 31 votes?

oh i counted wrong, 52 that's better.

MAKE THE MOST OF A MILLION TIMES NO!

i see that most of the votes were for the first CD. expect for "She's in Parties" which is the only track from their last album on this comp. totally unexpected results as i expected "Bela Lugosi's Dead" to take it very easily in this poll.

It's defs their best video

The album versh of Spirit is really bombastic and drummy and stuff, the single vrsion is... I dont know how to describe it, very muted and sweet and quite pop-songy? I'd tell Dan which his is but ffs I cant use Spotify in this stupid backwards country anyway THIS is the single version:

...wait, Abb posted that right at the start of the thread duhoy me.

listened to this a couple times today. "stigmata martyr" was robbed. "bela lugosi" was robbed-er. live version is stunning.

otoh, re "dark entries": YES

oops forgot to vote - pretty silly results I say

Should have voted for Crowds, TBH.

That's the version I posted. This being the first time I've heard it and being intimately familiar with the album version, I kind of hate it and wish it all manner of ill.

Yeah the album version is... not as good.

missed this, in the flat field & passion of lovers both got robbed imo

I've never been a huge fan of "Kick in the Eye" tbh but otherwise I can get w/these results. You know what is a fucking sick track that got zero votes, though, is "In Fear Of Fear." That should have gotten all the votes that Kick got. Skronk skronk skronk skronk

I always felt all I needed was the two CD volumes of this comp. Plus the BBC sessions, those are always top drawer.

you need it all. Every last note, and a few live bootlegs.

Yeah the album version is... not as good.

You misunderstand me. The album version is amazing. The single version is terrible.

both versions are great!

that posted video of "Spirit" was the first time i heard the single version. i can see where they are trying to come from thou it not really Bauhaus i know.

This is probably worth posting here:
