Cocteau Twins: approval necessary!

Howled with laughter at John's gloriously personal account over at Counago&Spaves of not being into The Cocteau Twins in the 1980s due to their pretentious clientele of fans.

True, true...

I got into them in the very late 1980s/early 1990s, though I had long loved the version by This Mortal Coil - featuring Twins' Liz and Robin - of Tim Buckley's Song to the Siren (TMC album It'll End in Tears, 1984).

However, I guess given John's final line, "But if you liked them before I did, shame on you", I'm still stuffed...

Shame on me it is...

Late 80s/early 90s! How could you? You can't even plead innocence!
