Does anybody remember/like this band who were fairly successful in the 90s, with seven top 20 singles and two top 10 albums? I've began to really like them recently, it's a shame they broke up when they did. Well worth checking out if you haven't heard them before, their lead singer Skin is quite awesome and 'Hedonism (Just Because You Feel Good)' is a brilliant song. :wub:

 

Here are some of my favourites of theirs;

 

Hedonism (Just Because You Feel Good):

 

All I Want:

 

Weak:

 

Charity:

 

Brazen (Weep):

 

Twisted (Everyday Hurts):

 

Secretly (the video itself is worth watching!):

 

Yes It's Fucking Political (album track, so no official video, song starts about one minute in):

I remember when they released 'Little Baby Swastika' and Jonathon King wanted to put them in for Eurovision. Never a big fan though.

so '90s!!

 

 

they did some good and memorable singles

 

Skin was a lot better with the band, and the bassist was good.

This band, along with Super Furry Animals, had seven top 20 singles without hitting the top 10, while the Levellers had eight.

Annoyingly they had several that came so close and deserved it. :(

They were quite big in Portugal. My faves are Secretly, Brazen and Twisted.

Yeah, I loved them. One of my favourite bands.

I knew it would be you who started this Ayls :o

 

I love this band a lot more now tbh! Only knew a few of their hits before - definately deserved more success Hedonism and Brazen Weep <33333

Skunk Anansie were awesome. I love this band. They made 3 absolutely rockin' albums, each sufficiently different to the rest.

 

I've even been lucky enough to have a drink with the guitarist - Ace, at some gig night in Brighton. He was a lovely bloke.

 

'Intellectualise My Blackness' has to be one of my favourites, though it's hard to say really, as they've got songs for lots of different moods.

 

 

 

Yeah, I really love 'Intellectualise My Blackness', it's so powerful.

 

Of Skin's solo stuff, 'Faithfulness' is utterly amazing. :wub:

I had heard of them before, but never listened to them. I absolutely love Hendoism. :o

I love them :wub: :wub: It's a shame they broke up but still I managed to get Skin's two solo albums and I can say she's done an excellent work :wub: :wub:

 

 

I was a big fan of Skunk Anansie. I bought all 3 of their albums when they first came out. I also bought most of their singles. Too many good songs for me to pick a fave.

Unfortunately i couldn't get into the solo albums Skin did. I did try but they just didn't do it for me. Skin was much better in the band.

Definetly one of the best bands that has ever existed, they had a few top 10's in Italy, and returned to the Portugese top 10 twice with their "Post Orgasmic Chill" album.
