One, m3, 4

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.

Has anyone done a survey of how many TSOM songs (Especially post-FALAA) have the chord progression Root, minor 3rd, 4th? And how many of those tracks have it as eigths or sixteenths, One bar for the root, one for the m3, and two for the 4th?

Has to be close to half, doesn't it?

Heresy I know... and it doesn't reduce my enjoyment of Crash and Burn... but it's amusing...

But you don't really care for music, do you?

It goes like this
The root, the minor third
The fourth

Q: What makes a typical melodie, the typical style of a band?
A: probably it`s just what you mentioned..? Maybe?
