The Heartland Not-So-Festive 50 Albums

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.

Many thanks to Petseri and Quiff Boy for their votes.

CURRENT WINNER:

The Sisters Of Mercy - First And Last And Always with 4 votes.


Now, we're getting close. "Ministry - Psalm 69" and "Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures" have 3 votes each
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, TSOM's Floodland, The Velvets' first album, and The Verve's Urban Hymns all have two votes.

And Black Wire have one. Nice try, Quiff. :lol: ;)

For some reason I'm reminded of the following exchange

Interviewer: "Is Ringo Starr the best drummer in rock 'n roll?"
John Lennon: "Apparently he's not even the best drummer in the Beatles" :lol:

Patience dear boy. I've got my list down to about 15 now. Just deciding which 5 to dump to leave 10 to send you.

Well, you little squirt, I WAS going to send you mine...

*folds arms* :evil:

...but now I might just have to rethink that. :innocent:

kids today... no bloody manners... :roll: :wink:
I feared asking you, or d00my, and I'm rethinking asking Loki and Francis. I might have gotten some votes I'd be scared of. :lol:
Oh-ho-ho-hoooo! he thinks I might not have good taste! He's been reading the "currently listening to" thread! :roll:

That's me trying to patronise you again by talking in the third person, but I'm just making myself sound stupid so I'll stop now. :oops:

Did ye think D00my or myself might have a Project Pitchfork album in there? :innocent:

Well um... my only problem was I was unsure which one to go for...

I think by giving us a preview of what's in the lead/voted for, could sway the vote, Dark :innocent:

Right, Dark, I think I've done it.

Patti Smith, Kraftwerk, or Bad Seeds though... I'm still wavering... :urff:

Right, so even though you clearly didn't read the rules (the idea of emailing to me was that it was meant to be secret), I've cast your votes anyway.

NOTICE:
If anyone ELSE posts it on here instead of emailing their list to me (not very likely because interest has waned to nothingness on this board) then I just won't bother to count the votes.

We all know who's going to win anyway.

Don't get despondent young Dark. Heartland needs more youthful, idealistic and committed members like you.
