I made this site about Sisters covers. It is rather simple list of all covers I found in the net and somewhere. Hope you enjoy it anyway.

If you know about some Sisters cover not mention on this site, please let me know :D

Don't worry, you probably don't want to hear most of them. The list of Sisters covers worth listening to more than once would be far, far shorter. :?

Nice list anyway :D

be certain that if such a place as hell existed then all the people on that list would be heading for it. with an especially sadistic and agonising form of eternal punishment being reserved for all the dodgy goth bands who can't even think of a name for their band that isn't the name of someone else's song (see "behind the wall of sleep" and "jessica's crime" :roll: |).
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.

And to think that Eldo wanted his songs covered by Cher... Well that was not to be. :innocent:

EDIT : so second that last post. They must suffer. :twisted:

The Supersuckers did a cover of Afterhours, although a lot of people didn't like the heavy-metal touches. I thought it was fantastic (and still do). It was on one of the fan club CD's, and some kind soul on here located it for me since I couldn't find it on Soulseek.

At least one missing in the list 'bands that covered the sisters', namely the terrible Nouvelle Vague version of Marian :lol:

Yup, I like it, it's been growing on me slowly.

Not to stir the pot overmuch, but the band Jessica's Crime discussed their moniker in an old interview ('twas quite a few years back, but we think it *might* have been in a back issue of Legends magazine... or maybe on the faq to their old website?), where they made it clear that they were making reference to the Dune novels by Frank Herbert, re: Jessica defying her orders to bear only female children and inadvertantly spawning the messiah. We also seem to recall something about their considering the song 'Jessica's Crime' to be something of a "bloody awful goth tune," or words to that effect (come on, admit it, "love me till my colours run" ain't exactly winning any awards for best lyric, except maybe as a jingle for bleach-free detergent)...

Also, Behind the Wall of Sleep, with whom we are not familiar, is clearly a literary, as opposed to musical, reference as well, re: HP Lovecraft, 'Beyond the Wall of Sleep,' published most recently in the atrociously named collection Dreams of Terror and Death (Del Rey ed., 1995).

BOX out.

There are some versions that I really like, tho...

On FALAF, Eleven Shadows' version of 'Afterhours' has a very nice droning, ambient atmosphere. Admitted, the voice of the singer can't even reach that of Von, but the music is very nice dreamy and a bit spacy.

And Nouvelle Vague's 'Marian' is a refreshing look on the song IMO, just like all the other covers they did. A bossanova version of 'Too Drunk To f**k' gets the DEDICATED label from me! ;D

Triana's version of Heartland is brilliant. The vocals are a little odd (warbly pseudo-German), but instrumentally, the song's amazing. Especially the militaristic shouting "Herzland! Herzland!".

Bossa Nova = cool, but Nouvelle Vague has finally been classified as crap by me, as they just got a singer more or less off the street that didn't even had a proper grasp of English. She didn't even know what she was singing :roll:

Producer-albums, yikes :urff:

You're quite right. I'll have to look into Frown some more. That is, if I can find their website.
