Favourite Sisters Songs/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.

Pre F&L&A: the whole of The Reptile House, Body Electric (the original 1982 recording), Floorshow
F&L&A: Some Kind Of Stranger, Nine While Nine, the title song.
Floodland: the whole album really. the two Floods, Driven Like The Snow, Dominion.
VT: Title song, Something Fast, You Could Be The One.
"New" songs: Summer is a bit of a favourite of mine, and Snubnose / Top Nite Out rocks like a ba$tard.

This list is by no means definitive and I could wake up tomorrow with a completely different set of favourites.

Oh and I can't be ar$ed shifting this into Sisters Chat for now, but I guess Herr Administrator may oblige. (*Edit: has obliged :lol:)

You Could Be The One, that'll do me.
