Fave Cocteau Twins song?

Lorelei Live 1984

Without a doubt, a doubt...

 

[EuropeTwice]

Heaven or Las Vegas

 

[borolad259]

Hard to choose between Iceblink Luck and Heaven or Las Vegas of the Cocteaus.

Side projects, Primitive Painters and Song to the Siren.

 

[bumface]

Carolyn’s Fingers for me too.

And for me, three.

 

[John67]

All of the Treasure Album. 4AD was a pretty special label. I remember seeing Dead Can Dance at the Little Theatre in Linthorpe - Lisa Gerrard what a voice.

 

[Luca Brazi]

What an unexpected and wonderful thread!

For me, Treasure Hiding and Frou-Frou Foxes In Midsummer Fires.

And, as previously mentioned, their Song For The Siren is simply sublime. The best ever version by a country mile.

 

[indeedido]

Treasure Hiding is indeed fabulous.

 

[LessoftheLip]

Not strictly CT I know but Teardrop by Massive Attack with Elizabeth on vocals is sublime.

 

[Ebor]

Love the Cocteau Twins, but Pearly has to be their best even if it's obvious.
Loved This Mortal Coil too, their cover of Song to the Siren is the best version I've heard, and Kangaroo is immense

Despite that, the worst gig I've ever seen was the Cocteaus. Leeds, 80 something

Regret never seeing CTs but rarely gigged I recall, similarly managed to see Dead Can Dance at Middlesbrough Little Theatre late 80s/90s may hav been a tour warm up date. Anyone else get to that?

Is it true that they named themselves after a very early Simple Minds song or is that just coincidence?
