Best Cover Versions Of Sisters Material - Of The Future

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Forget the past, it's gone..

Given that the prospect of future releases by the man himself appears to be on a par with Wenger seeing a foul by Patrick Vieira I got to thinking about covers. There have been a couple of Sisters 'tribute' albums, but if you were in charge who would you like to hear covering this stuff?

Allow me to start the bidding with Laibach's version of Nine While Nine.

No, please... :urff: :lol:
What about something by Kylie in return for Confide? Body and Soul for example - the lyrics are close. Or maybe Detonation Boulevard? I don't know, she has a really beautiful voice so it could be anything.

Ukrainians: Floorshow. Though they could do anything and it would be worth hearing.

Front 242: Phantom. It needs to be an instrumental.

Danny Elfman (film composer): This Corrosion. If only for those brass-heavy choral passages he writes.

Fast Food Rockers: Under the Gun. It's a double cheeseburger, get in the car

Hellowe'en: Temple of Love. Teutonic love anthem!

The Scorpions: 1959. Whistle that piano part.

St Etienne: Lucretia, My Reflection. The driving synth-pop of Like a Motorway takes a darker turn.

tATu: More. Crap song, crap band. Match made in heaven. But I want to hear a cover of Malchik Gay if TSOM every tour again. In Russian.
