And it's been twenty five years...

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.

... since I finally got to see Mr. E and his backing twangers. Time for a top five retrospective:

Alice
Body Electric (1984)
Lucretia
Something Fast
More

Can't decide which comes first, so giving them 5 points each. I'll let the more sensible members tally the votes. Elections close on the 26th October. Cast away.

Lol. Having seen your 'I was there' photos thread, I reckon that's definitely a case of pot calling kettle grimey arse. :kiss:
