I have spent part of the weekend re-listening to a bunch of my old Cult stuff. I realized that I only had a couple of their tunes on my iPod, so that needed to be fixed.

Realized how really good the Love album is. Imported nearly every song off my French Import copy with two extra tracks.

Also, I didn't realize how much I had underappreciated the self titled, or Black Sheep, album. Some really good stuff there.

Also making my way through the 10 disc singles collection. Lot of good B-sides like Groove Co, Zap City and others.

Any other Cult fans?

I had a roommate back in college that loved The Cult. One of my favorite songs is She Sells Sanctuary. My favorite album by them is Sonic Temple. Brings back some good memories.

Love is one of the best album of the 80's.

I saw them at a place in West Hartford, CT called the Agora Ballroom right after that album was released. The Divinyls opened, long before their hit 'I touch myself'. The second the lights went down for The Cult, we worked our way right to the front of the stage and I was right in front of Ian, was a great show in a small venue.

They are just a plain old GOOD rock n roll band.

Ian Astbury used to come into the military surplus store I worked at quite frequently. SUPER nice guy, very humble and respectful. He always brought his 2 sons with him and they were 2 of the most well-behaved kids I've ever seen.

Woo - f'ing - Hoo! Love was the best rock disc of the 80's. I remember going crazy listening to Rain at Mistral in Dallas in, what, '86? That place was the center of the party universe back then. The musical highlights of the night were always Cult and B.A.D.

Thanks for the stroll down Memory Lane, even if some of the memories are pretty fuzzy...

Being only born in 1982, I found out about The Cult from VH1 Classic and Im pretty impressed with them and the stuff Ive found around the internet.

Ian Astbury, the singer, has been around musically. He did some good stuff with Southern Death Cult and Death Cult, did some work with Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols (check out the song Did You No Wrong if you can find it), sang on a couple of tracks for UNKLE, was with the Holy Barbarians, was the singer for the Doors (with all the living original members), and put out a really good solo album a couple of years ago.

One of my faves!

Electric is prolly my fave of theirs. Every track is chock full of Rock N' Roll. Sonic Temple has some good stuff on it too, but they need to stop the infighting and get back in a studio.

They've done several concerts around NYC recently where they do one entire album. They did Love like only a month or two ago.

Funny...the second song I heard on my way to work today was "She Sells Sanctuary".......

I saw the Cult in 1987 at a little place called The Bronco Bowl in Dallas..........Guns and Roses opened for them!!! (This was before Appetite for Destruction broke out). That was one ROCKIN show......

No ****, the Bronco Bowl? That was a fantastic place to see a show. I saw the Furs there back in '83, Forever Now Tour.
