Worst TSOM song ever?

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.

Whoa! I can't believe you've got Kiss The Carpet and Fix up there!

Anyhoo, I'd probably plump for "something else".
It's not really a case of "worst", more like "least favourite" but I was never a big fan of "Poison Door".
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

Definitely, without a shadow of a doubt, it has to be the travesty that is Doctor Jeep.

I've always hated that song :(

Detonation Boulevard is abit iffy too...

None of the above, dude. Definitely not Fix or Kiss The Carpet. What a thread. Bejeesus. Live, Watch and Damage were corking, and even Home Of The Hitmen has cool lyrics.

How in the name of f**k can you have Kiss the carpet in the list is beyond me, not to mention fix :urff: .Many a good gig kicked off to the strains of Kiss. :notworthy:

The worst in my humble oppinion has to be Phantom , a song :?: neither coming or going nor having reason to exist, unless it was to p*ss off clubbers who thought floorshow was on the way..........

However, I think you could have put Phantom, Wide Reciever, Good Things, Untitled, Sandstorm, Kiss The Carpet (Reprise), Temple Of Love (92), War On Drugs, Top Nite Out and ''The Entire'' SSV album in there too.

F*cking hell. Fix and Kiss The Carpet??? :eek: :? These are classic Sisters tracks IMHO. In fact the whole of the Reptile House e.p. is.

How about a "most pointless thread of the year" poll? :roll:

Excluding the new stuff, I'd settle for "Something Fast" or "When you don't see me".

No bad songs. Only some bad moments, like Maggie Reilly's backing vocals in "Something Fast".

WTF? Those are classic songs!!!
De gustibus non est disputandum.

Have to give Adam some props, though, for managing to make WYDSM even more unbearable by butchering the riff live, FALAA-stylee.

I reckon it's supposed to sound like Dolly Parton. :D

'boring goth pap'? Blimey.

At best you could say a couple of songs 'tread water'. Now stop this insane bollx thread immediately. It's worse than all those ones ranting on about how fit Von is! Or footy!

Von - fit?

Sisters - bad songs?

Are we bored, perchance. Mad? Both?

Wheelie

Of the minor obscurities, Ozymandias has no redeeming features at all, and more or less nothing is to be gained by listening to it ever again under any imaginable circumstances. Of the major songs, the weakest for me has to be Anaconda. Because it's sh*te. It also has an incredibly weak b-side. I agree with Gary Marx. Hot on the heels of Ashton showing him how to produce Alice, he thought he could do the job himself and make any old dross sound good. He couldn't.

Just remember this. This rabble you keep talking about does most of the working, paying and dying in this community.

the problems is that most of you bought as first Sisters record the worse Floodland or vision thing.
but for the people that bought Body electric single firstly in 82 as me, surely the worst song are different that those listed as bad.
I saw Som at ULU in 83 and last at Royal Albert All (dead & buried)
I still remember that first time that heard TC, I was been sick for a month or so. Somebody of you can understand me or Im speaking to the wind ?
