CULT PURE CULT THE SINGLES 1984 – 1995 LP Brand New
As a singles band, The Cult excelled, as proven by their Stones-like «Love Removal Machine» and fiery «Fire Woman». Their blend of ’60s influences (no surprise Ian Astbury later fronted the Doors) and hard-rock power (Matt Sorum’s later stint in Guns N’ Roses is no coincidence) shaped the late-’80s alternative-rock landscape, with bands like Stone Temple Pilots benefiting from the Cult’s mainstream rock explorations.
