Is two or three seconds enough?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Stolen from another forum I frequent.

Identify your favourite 1, 2 or 3 seconds worth of a track.

I'll start you off with a few to get you going - (it might help if you get tongue-tied or am a musical dolt like myself to link a clip with timings)

Breeders - Cannonball just after the 'ahwhoo-ooohs' the bit where the drum taps kick in then the rather nifty work of Ms Deal on the bass (about 22 seconds in) - so possibly about three seconds of fabulousness. Saying that, is it the the brilliant couple of secondsworth of silence at 18 seconds I really love? Perhaps that's another thread - silences in tracks?

Damned - New Rose. Only three seconds in when Mr Scabies kicks in. :notworthy:

Sweet - Ballroom Blitz. About 19 seconds in just after Brian invites everyone to 'Lets go' The guitary bit

Ruts - Babylon's Burning approximately 1min 18 after second chorus when he goes straight into 'Babylon's burning baby can't you see'

Puressence - Sharpen up the knives. About 1.45 - my fav bit lyrically - don't know why it just 'gets me' (saying that I have no idea if he's 'tearing at stars' or it's 'up to the stars' I like to think it's the former) every damned time.

Please forgive the crappy vid that goes with it but the other versions I found were just not quite right.

Oh and them Sistery fellows - Alice (remember folks it doesn't have to be your fav track, just fav bits of a track) 4 seconds in the high hatty bits

Right that's me done for the moment - I have TONS of others but I have 'stuff' to do.

Favorite Sisters bit is the piano at the start of Marian. As it fades the suspense builds-air guitar to the ready.

Sorry, read the thread title & thought Mags was taling about our sex life :oops: ............carry on.
Being brave is coming home at 2am half drunk, smelling of perfume, climbing into bed, slapping the wife on the arse and saying,"right fatty, you're next!!"
