Siouxsie and the Banshees - "Dazzle"

We should face facts and know that know discussion of goth is really complete without mentioning Siouxsie and the Banshees. "Dazzle" seems like a good song. We'll go with that.


This may be so eighties, but I love it. And Siouxie can move, too. The beat is really strong for that time, too, when much of the synth-based music was more sweet-sounding synthpop. The video clearly makes you think you're getting new wave, but you almost "suffer" a bait-and-switch. To those of you who are old school goths, there's nothing I could say about this video that would qualify as a novel statement, but for those of you who are in other portions of the goth-industrial spectrum, this is something of a treat, in my opinion.
