The Greatest Music
Juju
The 446th greatest album of all time
Juju, released in 1981 by Siouxsie and the Banshees, is a tense, atmospheric post-punk album with strong ties to early gothic rock. It pairs Siouxsie Sioux's commanding, stylized vocals with John McGeoch's inventive, angular guitar work and Budgie's propulsive, tom-driven rhythms to create a spare, textured sound; songs such as "Spellbound" capture the record's moody, claustrophobic energy. The album is often regarded as a defining statement in the band's catalog and an influential touchstone for post-punk and gothic guitar-based music.
