Favourite Sisters Album?

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.

FALAA, because it was the 1st and has different memories attached. its never quite the same after that.
Re QB's comment about adults - is that kinda why we aren't having a referendum on the European constitution? Nanny state indeed.

Well, you should've included The Reptile House tho. I know it's not really a full album, but the best album they EVER made, IMHO.
And WHERE oh WHERE is SSV?

IZY.

Can't choose. There are many artists/bands i like, there are many artists/bands who i like 3 or maybe 4 songs, and that's it, but The Sisters of Mercy are one of the few artist's/bands who i like almost every song, that's why they're one of my favourite artists/band, so i just can't choose.

All of them EXCEPT Vision Thing. Vision Thing's only saving grace is Ribbons.

The only somewhat difficult choice is between "FALAA" and "Floodland". On one hand, FALAA is good all the way through, Floodland is excellent except "Torch" and "Colours"... (Torch is simply not good, and Colours is only "good")

I think I would have voted FALAA if the production was better, but the final decision was Floodland.

To be fair, neither of those two songs were meant to be on the album. AFAIK they were just stuck on the end of the CD as bonus tracks, and they aren't on the vinyl release (cassette just has 'Torch' as a bonus.)

I see it doesn't say 'Favourite Sisters CD' if it did, I'd go for Philly '97 ;)

Your avatar -> :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:


I have no real preference, but I listen to Floodland & Vision Thing a lot these days. Some Girls I rarely listen to because I prefer to listen to the vinyl (Reptile House :notworthy: ) ... I will remain undecided. ;D
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
