Er, Ladytron here. But then, I don't know much about Goldfrapp.
But why are these two linked? I don't see any similarities, as such?
Goldfrapp's much more established over here and they/she have been around much longer, with more commercial success. Ladytron are still relatively new kids on the block, and haven't even broken the top 40 yet (came by a whisker with their last two singles).
its a worthy topic because someone might put another picture on here of alison in thigh high boots :D
I had to vote Goldfrapp, I hardly know ladytron.
That filtered shrieking on Lovely Head is enough to make me love them forever. Of course Miss G's previous beautiful singing for Orbital sways me too.
Against them I have to say the album containing Strict machine.....actually just sounds like 8 mixes of that song.
Ladytron, but i would work out of hours with Miss Goldfrapp especially after that get up she had on the Somerset House dvd. Whoar

I think you meant, who the hell are Ladytron?
Although I think you could ask (i) who the hell is Goldfrapp, and (ii) who the hell are Goldfrapp?! Cos it's both Alison Goldfrapp and also the name of her band. Works on both levels. Clever, eh?
don't know fuck all about either.
they're names didn't lure me in. so i can't see the music doing the same.

Erm.... and Callander, twenty minutes north East of Glasgow (Helen). Know your 'tron boy 
why do people even bother to come on this thread if they know nothing about either of the bands just to post an opinion saying as much? 
post counts are really not that important!
anyway - seen goldrapp twic, both thimes they were excellent, but destroy everything you touch was one of the singles of the year for me last year - like them both but still waiting for ladytron to play bristol properly.
I voted for Ladytron purely on the strength of their last album.
Having seen both bands play live on many occasions and thoroughly enjoyed myself every time it would be impossible for me to choose between them otherwise.
Lady-who?
I'm sure I've probably heard their tunes without realising it, but Goldfrapp registered with me and I've got all three of the albums, ergo it's Goldfrapp (presently)...
I'm split between the two personally. I like Ladytron somewhat, but their sound can be rather slight and forgettable. I'm really digging Goldfrapp's latest album, but their first two don't hook me all that much, especially the slower non-dancy songs that sound like they're trying to channel Shirley Bassey through a Moog. Split, I tells ya.
Goldfrapp's first single off their latest album was basically Strict Machine again, done by T-Rex.The second single was much better.Lovely synths on that one.
Now, I've only heard of Ladytron through myspace; I will give Goldfrapp a listen as well. I haven't put my vote in, but the fact that ladytron is in the title grabbed my attention.
only heard three tracks by ladytron, but liked 'destroy everything you touch' enough to buy the single.
quite liked ooh la la and borrowed some goldfrapp lps from the library once but didn't make any impression on me.
So, marginally, ladytron, on the basis of that one single.
Playgirl is another good Ladytron track, 404. Downloaded it from myspace; you can find a lot of gems on that site.

I don't understand what you mean by slight?! To me that would suggest lightweight?! I don't think that's Ladytron at all, Churchy. Especially with the 3rd album. And, live, they're dead heavy now. They really raaaack, as your country might be wont to say.
Ladytron is what I pull up in my iPod when walking through urban cityscapes and subways. Headphone tested in Chicago, New York, and Hong Kong... perfect city music.
I only have 604 and L&M though. Those are the ones with that ultramodern feel. That last album was kinda crappy.
I've heard good things about Goldfrapp, but haven't actually seeked it out yet. I will do that soon. I do really like Alison's work with Orbital, particularly on Snivelisation.
I'm voting Ladytron mainly because I know them more.
Difficult one.Got all three Ladytron CDs plus just bought a remix album with a Tour of China DVD.And they're excellent live. But Goldfrapp's latest album is consistently excellent,blowing Witching Hour out of the water.And she's got sexier boots. Suppose another way of looking at it,a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush!
are you human.....or a dud....are you human...did you make it up.... my baby cherry slipped...pass me through your finger tips....
goldfrapp, more sensual and interesting....i didn't really like felt mountain all that much....she's like a cabaret singer.....
GF, judging from what I've heard by both, which isn't a helluva lot. The Ladytron cover of Ooops Oh My on their mix album was a good listen........about three times, then it got irritating.
