It's impossible for me to pick a sole favorite. I've liked all their pieces with the exception of a one or two songs; but if I were to pick a handful off the top of my head I'd say Peek-A-Boo, Cities in Dust, Ornaments of Gold, Red Light, Clockface, or Paradise Place.

Probably "Placebo Effect" or "Red Light".

For me it's a tie between Spellbound and Love in a Void.

At the moment, Arabian Knights.
Playground Twist and a lot of The Scream are up there too. Especially Mirage and Metal Postcard. And a load of the songs the rest of you have said.
The new remastered CD's are out now, I bought three of them so far : )

Israel. Amazing single. But there's so many others I can name that will always be in my playlist.

"Party's Fall" is a good one that nobody talks about.

Are there really any bad Siouxsie songs? I just found a copy of their 1st concert but haven't had time to play it yet. Supposedly, it's only about 20 minutes of tuneless noise with Siouxsie reciting the Lord's Prayer over the top of it. I'm going to guess that even that will sound good.

I was wrong. I've played it twice now and it's horrible.

I'm really stuck on Dazzle right now. It'll probably change later though.

It's a tie betwixt Face to Face, Israel, Happy House, Spellbound and Mantaray:

She was so awesome in concert at the Anaheim House of Blues a year ago, I'll never forget her. What a babe!

I'd have to say either Israel or Hall of Mirrors, but I'm also still exploring their material, so there is plenty of room for more!

Christine, Dear Prudence and Love in a Void.
However, I haven't heard a whole lot, I only have a small amount of Siouxsie.

Lunar Camel and Take Me Back have been climbing up there...But it's far too tough for me to decide an absolute favorite.
However, The Last Beat of My Heart at Lollapalooza just squashes the original so badly that it's not even funny.

Hehe. The 11-minute recording of "The Lord's Prayer" on "Join Hands" is also quite tedious to endure.

It's between "Cities In Dust" or "Hon Kong Garden" or "Kiss Them For Me".

Spellbound was one of my favourites until some Scottish canibalism scene absolutely killed it for me.
HK Garden is just genial!
Cities in Dust makes my hair stand on end..
Israel is just moody.
So it'd be one of those three.

Quite recently, it's been Kiss Them For Me but overall, I think my favourite would be Stargazer. I really love Spellbound and Dear Prudence too. It's fucking hard to choose!
