What would be your choice...

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.

What about "Venus in furs" by the great Velvet Underground :notworthy: :notworthy:

I still can't believe, that this is from the sixties. Maybe one the first goff songs... 8)

No surprise it was covered by Christian Death then :wink:


I'd like them to try T.S.O.L.'s Darker My Love. I've loved that song for so long... and especially the 90's :von: could have gotten away with that one.

It would also be very Le Phono c.1982. Perhaps they could revive the old E Bow gimmick from Marian to do the John Cale viola bit.

something out of depeche mode catalogue..something older preferably..the sun and the rainfall maybe...would be depending largely on the way they would transform the songs musically

The Merry Thoughts covered The Sun and the Rainfall didn't they? I can't see :von: doing anything TMT have covered.

Urm, I think a cover of "mourning sun" by The Nephs would be bril'.

I agree.

There could be quite a few Cocteau's tracks that would fit nicely

Five Ten Fiftyfold might be interesting

Some good covers of TSOM songs would be nice rather than the second division metal versions they play these days :?
