Ladytron
 

"Destroy everything you Touch" is a great song by this group..

Discuss?

well yes, a great song, but quite honestly i downloaded two albums based on that one song and haven't really listened to them much....they didn't intrigue me....

I'm not going to lie, I'm not a huge fan of the group, but there's something about this song.

oh it's fantastic...no doubt...maybe i need to listen to the albums more...that track just stands out like a sore thumb...at this moment anyway....

I really like that song, also International Dateline, I think it's called?

Ladytron are good, from what I have heard.

I`ve always though of Ladytron as Goldfrapp lite for some reason

^ Word. I don't think Ladytron have ever had a song as catchy as Strict Machine, but still, I much prefer Ladytron over Goldfrapp anyday. I think most of the female-fronted electro/synth pop groups (for instance, similar bands like Client or Freezepop) have the same problem - they dont catch you right away...a lot of times, the beat is good, but the vocals get under your skin. Ladytron is actually one of the better ones. So unless you're a big electro nut like I am, these guys are just meh.

Ladytron is the best electro-clash band out there I think. And while their last album is their best musically, their better singles come from earlier albums...

I've heard a bit of Ladytron, i like it.

They really aren't like anything else I listen to but there is just something about them.

Can someone email me some or something? I don't have a downloading programme :( and i can only listen to them on myspace, which is where i origionally heard them, ha.

Quite a few bands similar actually...

Adult. - winner of my most random concert. Was in Moscow for a business trip and randomly went to a club that they happened to be playing that night (didn't know till I got there). Female vocal

Amon Tobin - electro meets electronica. Female vocal

Annie - stright up electro. Female vocal

Chicks on Speed - electro on speed. Female vocal

Clinic - slight indie feel, but still very electro.

Division Kent - Still a very obscure band - akin to Goldfrapp. Female vocal

Dot Allison - akin to Goldfrapp. Female vocal

Felex da Housecat - akin to Miss Kitten. Female vocal

Lali Puna - more tune than synth, but certainly electro. Fist album to get is 'Faking the Books'. Female vocal

Le Tigre - Electro on speed. Female vocal

Miss Kittin - agree - a bit on the DJ side of electro.

The Knife - agree with this one too...

...that's just the female electro bands I can think of....

TONS of stuff here - http://hype.non-standard.net/search/ladytron/1/

I also put a ladytron song on my session cd's - http://www.musicbanter.com/showthread.php?t=17097

I love Le Tigre. Goldfrapp are quite good too, didn't they cover a Donna Summers song?

thankyou :):)

Great band , shame their last album was a bit pants.

God i`ve not listened to him in years , he was a permenent fixture in my cd player around 2001/2002

dunno Donna Summers well enough to know if Goldfrapp covered a song... a few of my friends have seen her 4 times live now and LOVE her live... I keep missing her for one reason or another...

Clinic - agreed, last album was a bit pants!

Miss Kitten - It's fun music with a good beat. A few standout tracks is all in the end, but worth checking out :)

Ladytron really disappointed me live. One of the girl singers seemed to hate the audience.

I love Ladytron, they have many good songs, but the best one is Soft Power. I can never get enough of it

I only properly got into Ladytron in the summer last year. I'm so glad I bothered, though. Paco! is such a cool song.

Ladytron are awesome. They're my second favorite band.

I'd have to say that my favorite song is tender talons.

Their new album is great

I just started listening to ladytron today but so far i like them

Witching Hour album = the shizzle

can't believe I sold my tix to see them

especially since the reason I had to sell them was no longer an obstacle to me going.

and to make it worse the guy I sold them to on ebay emailed me to tell me how brilliant they were

dlck

One of my most favorite bands. I was lucky enough to see them live this summer, it was a great show. I was skeptical about their latest album, but I was pleasantly suprised when I heard it, almost every song is really good.

I agree that destroy everything you touch is one of the best.
Also ghosts is a wicked song. Overall i would rate the album velfalcro (spelling :S ) 7.5/10. this is coming from a ladytron fan:D

Great song! I think Light & Magic is their best overall album though.

Ah, I love Ladytron, I have their latter two albums, they're amazing.

I really like Destroy Everything You Touch, Sugar, Seventeen, Evil, Ghosts...a few others.

I've not listened to much of their stuff but what I've heard I've liked.

going to see them soon

along with The Whip

everyone should check them out too

they were great at Reading

I enjoy them. Though most of their music sounds relatively alike. It's all somewhat entertaining.

I just rediscovered Ladytron <3

I love this song:

I love Light & Magic and Witching Hour, but since then I haven't been so thrilled, sorry to say.

People should check this out, there's some great stuff on it.

True.
And for the lazy, I'll explain that Softcore Jukebox is a complilation made by Ladytron that includes only 2 of their own songs. 'Blue Jeans 2.0' is especially good.
Here's the other one:

I don't know too much about the band bar a few songs, but the name is great! ;)
