Someone just jogged my memory about what an awesome song "Without You I'm Nothing" by Placebo was. That whole album was (is?) still so so good. Then I remembered they had a version with David Bowie which is even better!

I love the David Bowie colab of that song as well.

But yeah... the first what... four, five albums by Placebo are just fucking bangers. Sleeping With Ghosts is still in my top 10 albums of all time, and yet when I listen to that I can't help but end up listening to Black Market Music or Without You...

Oof Black Market Music had some bangers! First three tracks - all gold (along with Passive Aggressive, Black Eyed, Hemoglobin...actually the whole album). Queuing it up now!

I like Placebo. Honestly I prefer their version of Running Up That Hill than Kate Bush's version. But could help that I listened to that one first.

I mean the original (didn't want to make it seem like Kate's is also a cover lmfao) still slaps, like it's great. But Placebo just hits differently.

Fuck yeh. Placebo are one of my youth nostalgia groups. So good!
