i liked ladytron at the start. but they're not that special. the live show i saw was really weak.
in my opinion zoot woman is very similar but more thoughtful, deep and less obvious.

It's cool that you like Freezepop so much, but they're not even in the same
universe as Ladytron as far as sexiness.
I was actually referring to their lyrics+musical talent+intellegence = sexy!
But, I also like the way they look too.
To each their own...

OK Ladytron fans - I'm guessing that there is a ton of stuff out on the web for Ladytron, but rather than wade through it all, I'm asking for you to recommend 5 songs for me to check out.
I already like:
Playgirl -super song.
Seventeen -OK song.
The rest of what I have heard: primarily the Light & Magic CD, left me unmoved.
What songs do you like best

"Destroy Everything You Touch" by Ladytron has got to be one of my all-time favourite tracks. Unbelievably cool.

Hey, you're generally a pretty nice guy, but here's a little clue: Music is entirely SUBJECTIVE.
17 is the best song they do IMO, so we, surprise surprise, have different entirely subjective tastes!
I find Freezpop too melancholy, you find Ladytron too dry or whatever.... life goes on.

Thank you for the compliment.
I honestly didn't think it necessary to add the caveat "In your opinion" -I thought that was a given....
That is why I phrased it "What songs do you like best" The key word being 'you'. I am asking for your subjective opinion.
So what are 4 more songs you like?

One word: GOLDFRAPP!
Alison Goldfrapp is the queen of electro pop! With Will Gregory she produces the most amazing music. She is a stunning singer ... a class above all these pretenders! I know because I have seen her live and she is even better live than in her recordings (I must also mention the band too: excellent!!!)
Am I a fan? Oh YESSSS!

+1 on Goldfrapp! Been a fan a very long time now. Also the early Moloko stuff, while we're talking about that sort of female singer/electronics combo band.

I saw Goldfrapp at a festival last summer. I'd never heard of them before and after seeing them live I'd say they are masters of the Mitsubishi Car Commercial genre.

+1 For Goldfrapp (especially Felt Mountain) and Moloko, early Moloko is untoppable imho.

Thanks for the recommendations Machinesworking. I really like the first one.
