Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

And FFS, Paranoid? Give me Master of Reality every time.
It's angering up my blood now...
<shakes head> I know, I know. It's a terrible state of affairs. Just remember. We are a nation who think GGGGGarth GGGGGGates needed a record contract!! There's really no hope.

Having said that, I -do- have a couple of hundred megabytes in my email account left... *ponders*
Anyone fancy that idea?
That's quite a nice idea! Just think of some rules, like 3 albums per person, or something like that, and I'm willing to help out with the administration (which doesn't mean that I want to do everyting , of course)
I could always write a little PHP/MySQL thingy for you this. Wouldn't very secure or anything as I don't have any way of verifying who is who, but as a basic, friendly thing it could be done quite quickly.

Okay, this is going to flood me, but sure, why not?
My email address is on my profile, I think.
Rules:
1) Three albums only
2) All three must be by different artists (otherwise we'd only have a top-10 or something)
3) Anyone nominating anything club/house/dance/RnB/Recent-Top-40 will be reported to Miss Emily and Führer Quiff.

Can't be doing with rule 3), heresy.
Should be a separate thread by the way as it's lost in here. Unless that's the point of course.

How about their first album? I can't claim to be an afficianado, having stopped caring after Hatful Of Hollow, but I recently bought The Queen Is Dead (on the recommendation of numerous people, most of whom were at least ten years my younger) and was less than impressed. Perhaps it's a familiarity thing. The Smiths 'happenned' about the same time as the Sisters but got their album out first and played a storming gig at Leeds University. They had us reeling round the fountain catching gladioli. Eldritch was well pissed off. Johnny Marr's tunes seemed to have been ringing round my ears for a long time before I even realised. I had the same experience with the Stone Roses' first album and Oasis' What's the Story. Who? Never heard of 'em. Bought the album. Oh yeah, I know this... But I'm rambling. Someone shut the gate behind me.
<Wakes up waving a finger whilst searching for his beer>And how is the Queen Is Dead a complete album as opposed to a collecion of songs?<Fades away>
Frankly Mr Shankly, I don't give a damn.
Sheila take a bow.
And you know that she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there.

, of course) 
Anyway, I m ready to deliver my TOP 50. With just 3 albums, methinks it will stay pretty much TSOM-internal, or?
