NEW MUSICAL GENRES POST 1986

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.

I've got a fair amount of the recording Weller did with the Style Council, and it is certainly pop, and light at that. It's my least favourite phase of his music, and coincided funnily enough, with the rise of much more interesting bands - like the alternative scene, inc our own TSOM.

I adore the Jam, but I do rate his solo output as well.

I certainly do. Would like to have it explained to me, by those with more expertise in matters Sisters, what makes it is less a Sisters album than the others?

Von doesn't actually sing on it.
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

Well, so we were told, but IIRC James Ray denied that Colours was him...

Would you therefore classify 'Rain from Heaven' as a cover version when it's played live by The Sisters of Mercy?

Good question.

It's more akin to, say, Weller singing Jam songs solo.
