Siouxsie

Siouxsie & The Banshees, ‘Hong Kong Garden’, 1978. The debut single. Written about Siouxsie’s local Chinese restaurant routinely visited by racist skinheads. Post-punk noise with xylophone, tribal drums, one finger bass lines, chopping guitar riff and Siouxsie’s swooping voice. A classic. It cracked the Top 10 and, along with The Cure, invented Goth. To be honest I don’t think they ever bettered it.
