I love the furs, especially Forever Now. President Gas is such an amazing track!



Can anyone recommend similar bands?

Big FURS fan here. Richard Butler has a really contagious voice ala Ian from Joy Division.

For similar bands maybe try Love Spit Love, The Church or Echo and the Bunnymen.

Davey Moore

Hell yeah this song, definitely my favorite of theirs:





There's too many kings wanna.......hold you down.

I quite like this song.

Sneer

Their first 3 albums are gold. Mirror Moves and Midnight to Midnight were disappointing and I havent checked out anything after the latter. I'm more than happy to stick with their early 80's stuff.

One of my favorite bands. I preferred their earliest stuff (especially their first album. "Sister Europe" is a gorgeous tune.) but I have never not liked any song they put out. I never really considered Richard Butler to be a great singer..but for some reason, when he sings, I just really enjoy listening to it, regardless of the tune. Besides the bands reccommended, I would add The Smiths, (early) The Cure, Dragon, OMD, and perhaps even Ultravox (not the same sort of music..the Furs were not Synth but Midge Ure has a very good voice). Room Nine as well.

No, not a big fan. The Furs were considered "punk for preppies".

PerlJammer

I'm not quite sure they're punk, but they were good. They're getting a resurgence on Pandora.

Engine

This is honestly my favorite song by the band. Pulls the heartstrings every time for real.
