It dawned on me last night just why I think that Siouxsie and the Banshees is a far better band than The Cure. It all boils down to song writting. As many of you may know, Robert Smith is the sole lyricist for The Cure with the rest of the band helping out on the music. Meanwhile, Siouxsie and Co. have three people (Sioux, Severin, Budgie) that take turn with the lyrics and music. Three is better than one. It gives them an edge as far as being able to play with their sound. Yes. I do speak of them as if they are still a viable band even though they broke up in 1996 ’cause to me they are still one of the greatest bands to come out of the late 70’s. I think “Tinderbox” ranks in the Top Five Greatest Albums Ever Recorded.
