1000 Albums to Hear Before You Die

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.

Admittedly I have not listened to them in several years, but I had the impression that the second one (from 1982) was translated better than the first, more to maintain the feel of the songs instead of just a translation. Like you, I did feel that the first one was too much of a direct translation. I am nevertheless glad tthat Gabriel made the two German ones.
Haven't tried number two as I was so put off by the first (literal) attempt, might want to give it a try some day if you say it's better…
Styles are a lie.

Yeah but they did pick Britney Spears, so that clearly shows they do know a thing or two about real American heroes. :roll: :lol:

BTW anybody remember "Five minutes after I die" by US industrial monster Blackhouse ? Now that's what I call oral torture ! :twisted:

Quiff Boy wrote:The Chameleons
Script of the Bridge (1983)
Although commercial success eluded this Greater Manchester quartet, their influence stretches from the Verve to Interpol to Coldplay. This timeless debut justifies the fuss with plangent, intertwining guitars and instantly anthemic songs that yearn for childhood innocence and rage powerfully against the world.


:notworthy:
:notworthy: A big thanks for this post!
I didn't knew the Chameleons, and got a listen to this album and immediately loved it. In a certain way, it reminds me of Red Lorry'.

Don't worry about the list, it's not quite reliable.

by the way can you spot from the list misspelled band name?

Hint:almost all music journalists do that mistake
