Theme Week: Big '80's - Psychedelic Furs
|
|
[From The Album "Should God Forget: A Retrospective"]
A critic favorite with loyal fans who hide skinny ties and mousse in their closets for a chance to shake their 36-year old asses at the hit-or-miss reunion performances, Richard Butler's "Psychedelic Furs" made a mark on '80's post-punk, new-wave teens stateside - and worldwide. Me included. What would those John Hughes films be without the Furs? Actually, there's only the one, "Pretty In Pink", but looking back, I guess Butler's voice just seemed right for all those films. There's something to be said for a sound which can define a period in ones life. Even the Love Spit Love material came off as nostalgic, simply because of Richard Butler's droning snarl of a voice. But where are they now? Enjoy!
