The Cult

Post by TurboPablo »

I'm sliding into a major Cult/Billy Duffy bender.

I absolutely prefer the original version of Electric.

Love is by far their best album. Fact.

I love Billy Duffys' style. Minimalist and incredibly effective. He never ever tries to do too much.

One of my favorite bands. Hollow Man might be my favorite track. Astbury's vocals on that are pretty hypnotic.
Funny you're on a Cult bender, I'm still coming down off of a binge myself. You may have just caused a relapse.
I love Billy Duffy's style as well. Sweet Soul Sister contains one of my favorite guitar solos ever laid down.

I love Hollow Man because it borders on Motown. But it's still all New Wave. The song has just a filthy backbeat to it. Real ass shaker for sure.

That would be beautifully creepy. Her singing about some weirdo following her around.

The Cult is awesome and still puts out some awesome tunes. Ian still brings it vocally too.

Love and Electric are easily my favorite albums.

My current fave of theirs is Memphis Hip Shake.

I like the cult on record, but when I saw them live I was pretty disappointed, maybe an off night.
