"Cities In Dust" was my gateway to the Banshees. I still love this album, the wotshisname guitarist is really good.

Voted for Cannons. This is easily my favourite Banshees album.

Party's Fall has some fantastic guitar lines. I don't know that I could make a case for it being the best on the album under any circumstances, but I like it a lot.

Only 7 votes? The mass of post-punk fans that populated ILM ten years ago have clearly moved on...

didn't see this poll but the whole of side one is great. that transition from 'sweetest chill' to 'this unrest' is incredible, such an eerie shift in mood

I didn’t vote because I couldn’t narrow down to a shortlist

relistening now and 'this unrest' has the same sort of furtive scuttling menace as 'dodo' by genesis

anyway, please accept my late vote for 'cannons'

Clearly their best. And all those b-sides were equally rad

Yeah, I love "An Execution". Is that an actual first person account that makes up the spoken lyrics?
