Any other fans on here?
One of my favorite bands of all time. Kind of hard to explain them if you're not already familiar with their music. Here is a nice artist spotlight: http://www.ology.com/music/artist-spotlight-cocteau-twins Here are a couple of their most well-known songs. Iceblink Luck:  Carolyn's Fingers: Bluebeard: |

Big fan. First exposed to it in 1989 or so, with the album "Treasure". Think I have six or more of their CD's. Favorites would be Heaven or Las Vegas and Love's Easy Tears.
One of the few groups where I think every track of every album is good. Great music to just lie back and listen to. |

I like them. Elizabeth Frazier has done some work with Massive Attack as well: Teardrop Black Milk Awesome! I wondered what else she had been doing. Those are great tracks. |

I'm fan.
I like music with a little more "beats" to it. They make some good ambient sounds, haunting but not something I listen to everyday. |

I love them and Dead Can Dance. Not sure how to categorize them for people who haven't heard them.

It is a little hard to tell, but those look like vinyl. If so, I nominate you for win! |

Big fan here. From Garlands on.
We listened to them a lot in high school, all of the 4AD bands were interesting. Chicks dig it and it's good fucking music. Also mixes well with psychedelic drugs. Cocteau Twins - Lorelei |

It is a little hard to tell, but those look like vinyl. If so, I nominate you for win! There are a few 12" 45 rpm singles in that photo, but also more than a few of their albums. I did college radio from '80-'84 in the Bay Area, so I was into all that music back then. As Music Director, I went to London for a month, searching for music to bring back and visited 4AD. That Garlands LP, I got directly from them in '82, IIRC. Their office was an upstairs flat, a large one, but not a typical office space. They were very generous to me when I showed them our weekly 'playlist' with many 4AD bands on it, that I made up weekly. I think that they gave me 15-20 LPs and 45s. C.T. is good stuff, but if you're a 'metal head' I can see where you might think it's 'the ghey'. Chris |

Dead can Dance & Lisa Gerrard's solo stuff is pretty good.
I plug Lisa Gerrard into Pandora and see what comes out. |

Brilliant band, and Robin Guthrie's "other" band Violet Indiana is worth a listen too.
Killer Eyes - Violet Indiana His signature heavily layered effects driven Gretsch 6120 is present in VI's music.

Always been a big fan of them even though I've never been able to figure out the lyrics to any of the songs.
