Siouxsie and the Banshees appearance on Top of the Pops circa 1981.
Spellbound is from the album Juju.

Often described as the Goddess of Goth.
The Banshees along with The Cure, Joy Division, Killing Joke and Bauhaus pioneered the genre of Goth or proto-Gothic rock and sometimes referred to as DarkWave. Their debut album from 1978 is considered the first alt-rock album. Personally, I think that Velvet Underground had a lot to do with it.
Either way, Siouxsie was ahead of her time, she combined her beauty, grace and talent to influence countless others who still follow in her footsteps.
