It seems just yesterday that I wrote about The Cult (it was a couple days ago,) and here they are again. #4 in my Favorite "Moon" Songs series is their song "Brother Wolf, Sister Moon."
I've used The Cult so many times in these music countdowns that I've pretty much run out of things to say.
They began as Southern Death Cult, a band fronted by vocalist Ian Astbury. Astbury soon changed the groups name to Death Cult, after which he and guitarist Billy Duffy formed The Cult in 1983.
There's not much information on "Brother Wolf, Sister Moon," so here goes:
The song is the longest tune on their 1985 album, Love (one of my favorite albums.) It's somewhat slow, somewhat dark, but features some great guitar work from Duffy (this guy is SO underrated, it's sinful,) including some nifty goth-style play.
And that's yet another entry by The Cult.

They did a killer song called "The Phoenix" in which Billy just shreds. Solo's through the entire song.

Oh, wow, here's a song by the Cult. Whodathunkit? 
I don't object: there's a reason they're one of your favorite bands, so it makes sense that they show up in every countdown.
::off to put Elton John in another countdown::
