What are you favorite sisters songs?

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.

I always thought Marian was about some german mermaid(Siren)who lured sailors to their deaths.If it only a love song I shall be very disapointed and disillusioned.
I always used to pronounce it "Marry-n" since that's how it looks. If it was spelt "Marianne", then I'd pronounce it "Marry-anne".

No Adrenochrome?
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Currently enjoying Come Together a lot.

And if you speed up UTG to about 110%-115% it's not really that bad either.

4. Gimme Shelter.

5. Blood Money.

6. I Was Wrong.

7. Torch.
