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.

You can take a tiger out of the jungle, but you can't take the jungle out of the tiger... on the other hand, the tiger can't step into the same river twice because other waters are always flowing on to it. Yeah.

I'm surprised, I thought you'd find "the last one" funnier. :|

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

This one's top definitely:
We are the Same, Susanne

Of the rest, there are plenty to take second place. For example those:
Body Electric '84
Nine While Nine
Flood II (live! Like in Dresden 2009)
Giving Ground (live! 'course)

(Although, tomorrow I might pick different ones ;))
