What are you favorite sisters songs?

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.

Some Kind of Stranger
Knocking on Heaven's Door
We Are The Same Suzanne (However I have yet to hear the definitive version of this - most gigs are spoiled by the background chat which is picked up far more when I play this one at the volume that I like. Maybe the lazy old git will get into the studio one day, although I probably have a greater chance of winning the National Lottery).

Today very early in the morning as I drove to work and the sun was shining through the trees, over the glade that's became grey with frost for the first time this autumn, I really really liked Black Planet.
Several minutes later I hated Nine While Nine, I hated it so much that I had to skip it, cause it made me think that all relationships are bound to break. So I changed the CD and to my surprise I had to admit that today I also hate Two In The Nose. Conclusion: NWN, and TITN don't mix well with sunny mornings, they sound far better on rainy dusks. So I changed the CD again, and absolutely loved the Geiselwind version of Still, what a great song I thought - but I thought so probably thanks to the fact that I'd driven into the city by that time - it wouldn't have sounded that great by the glade.
And yes, I'm verrrrry busy at work now. :lol:

Susanne is definitely the best. The other nine share second spot.


We are the Same, Susanne
Summer
[Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till ... :| ]

Flood II (live)
[Darker Visions sounds nice. Interestingly I don't like the Floodland Flood II too much.]

Giving Ground (live)
[Darker Visions, for instance. The Sisterhood versions are both very good too]

Knocking on Heaven's Door (live)
[Royal Albert Hall especially]

Marian
Nine While Nine

Body Electric '84
[A good deal of oomph gives it an edge over the '82]

Bury Me Deep

Gimme Shelter
[I have no idea why the Stones are so popular. They can't even play their own songs properly.]
