The Clash came after the Sissies for me, but are now my first love above all else.

So young and so productive

I agree with this; no-one really hitting the highs in the early 90s as you say, but I'd put in as 'good' bands: Suede and RadioHead, who i thought did some sterling work around then.Jim wrote:THIS! You have good taste my man.GMC wrote:1965-1972: The Rolling Stones

With all the on-line boots you can download, I probably listen to the sisters more than ever. I still get absolutely euphoric when the venue is flooded with dry ice & the intro music comes on...
The only live acts that come into a similar league are/were Bowie & (reformed) The Stooges & to a lesser degree New Order.
,
On disk - The Velvets
And coming close - The Furs, Japan, Cramps, Raveonettes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs & Jane's Addiction (not since the reformation), Suicide, The Neph

Can't agree ... Andrew Eldritch is capable of singing in a way nobody else ever could, nowadays as ever ...playboy wrote:Depends on if it is Andrew Eldritch before or after 1993 this question is referring to.
Though, I'm pretty sure that
a) he doesn't sing (interprete) songs the way he did when those tracks were recorded ...
b) he generally wouldn't want to sing in certain ways to avoid inconveniences ...
No problem with that on my part ... to me his singing is impressive enough ...
apart from the fact that The Sisters have improved all over during the past two years ... ...
Maybe he is capable of singing in a way nobody else ever could, nowadays as ever... But he does "sing" in a different way overall than he did when the band was... a band (!).... which makes it a personal taste, and nothing else. I liked one of his singing style, not so much the other. Hence my "question" - if the original question in this tread was referring to Andrew before or after 1993...Being645 wrote:Can't agree ...

Shame none of them allowed themselves to see (or admit seeing) Zeppelin, Hawkwind, Thin Lizzy, AC/DC, Motorhead. Rock'n'roll is a groovy re-invention machine and long may it be loud and drenched in drama and dry ice x

I always preferred "Sounds" to the "NME" but I have seen Hawkwind, Thin Lizzy and Motorhead.
And if Rock 'n' Roll is such a "groovy re-invention machine" what are you doing on a fan-site for a band that haven't really done anything for the last 20 years?

And so is Andrew Eldritch. From The Damage Done to Gift That Shines
