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.

Nah, I don't have any real emotion for any Sisters songs.. that's as good as you're getting from me.
For someone who has over 6000 posts that's a real sign of 'no real emotion' and why pick one of the worst Sisters songs (there's three by the way, all on the first single)? Not being difficult or obscure are we?
Anyway my pick has to be Driven Like The Snow, Nine While Nine, Reptile House EP.
Matt..
I have loads of posts, but that doesn't mean many of them have related to TSOM.
And for what it's worth, I kinda wished that they had carried on in the same vein as that first single. Could have been some really good stuff.

This I understand completely. I really, really, really love Watch and the Damage Done. They've got a great primitive noise-rock vibe that really does it for me.

You really believe that? I always thought it was tenth rate which is why i've never shelled out £100s on the single. Everything that followed Damage Done was superior in my opinion. Gary is no singer and come to think of it Von is no drummer. It wasn't a dig either about your post count by the way, just an observation.
OK, it's not representative of the band, and probably not up to the standard of their other stuff, but it's nowhere near being the total trainwreck that popular mythology makes it out to be. Just a good thrashy punkoid track.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

It might be if it was recorded at all well. As it is, it sounds like it was played on a rubber band and cardboard boxes. By a drunk orang-utan.

That's part of the charm for me! Agree to disagree?
