All proud

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.

I've tried to open people up to the sissys but they almost always say "they sound dated"

I never tried that. I'm not a Sisters' promotor or something.
Even not with girlfriends. I give people who are
interested a listen and burn some stuff if they like.

My younger brother gives them a listen and is open to some of the new songs.
My son dances to Temple Of Love.
My wife detests them. :urff: Should never married a woman who doesn't dig The Sisters. ;D

My Dad loves them. My Mum loves Dr Jeep (though she always thought the word meanwhile was meat pie) :roll: & my best mate loves Crash & Burn. It'll do for me. 8)

one night last summer as I was taking The Mum (88 ) and myself to mass I stuck on FALAA, she said "I haven't heard you play that in a long time", I asked her who it was and she said "Well it's The Sisters Of Mercy, obviously"

none of you will beat that :D

n' how cool is Molly?
answer: Very! ;D

Got a kid at work ('round 19 or 20, myself being 28...) listening to them - I only suggested it to begin with because he listens to a lot of similar stuff I do, he saw me wearing Sisters shirts and pins on my jacket and was curious.

I don't have any kids or co-workers who like them so can't add much to this lovely topic, just wanted to say that it's dawned on me for a 100th time how very f* great idea it was to name an all-male band with a female name. Apart from the entire background, I love this gender joke. :)

It was a great idea. And they made the point at the Hacienda by dressing up, or maybe down, for the occasion. :lol:
