Were Lush any good? I haven't heard a single song of theirs, but I love all the bands that they are compared to - Ride, MBV, Slowdive, Catherine Wheel et al. What should I check out?

I may be biased because I used to be in love with the lead singer, but yes they're good.

Like Cocteau Twins and Smashing Pumpkins at the same time.

Gala or Spooky. Can't go wrong with those.

yeah they were really good. "ladykillers" was their biggest song. there's a good 4ad best of that you can get if you so desire.

"Sweetness And Light" is probably the signature tune to dl to check out. Yeah, or "Ladykillers"

I prefer Gala or Spooky over Lovelife but am a fan of all their music.

"Ladykillers" fucking rocks but I got nothing after that.

Alrgiht im gonna try find 'Gala', thanks guys

I own:

1. Spooky (Debut)
2. Gala (Collection of early singles)
3. Lovelife ("Ciao!" with J. Cocker)
4. Split

Also have a bunch of singles. Let me know if you want me to put anything up for you on slsk.

np: Suede – Dog Man Star

Most of the songs I like by Lush are on their best of called Ciao. I really liked "Olympia" though, from Lovelife, but it didn't end up on Ciao.

i had spooky and gala back in the days of dave kendall 120 minutes. really liked then a whole lot then, but that's about where and when it stopped.

KPH

Lush disbanded after the drummer hanged himself in '96.
