[kj] Regrets fuck banshees

[Mik Raven]

Probably my fave too. Only time I have ever seen pil was when McGeoch was
playing for them. But then loved his banshees stuff too.

It's OK - my favourite 80's PiL record is 'Album' (or 'Compact Disc'...),
but McGeoch did some great stuff on Happy? - Seattle, Open & Revolving,
Fat Chance Hotel, Rules & Regulations - and his playing on the latter song
is definitely what you could call Geordie-esque.
