Tracks you skip or "The 1959 Effect"

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.

Black Tie White Noise - I Feel Free, I Know It's Gonna Happen
:eek:
Only half of Black Tie still does it for me but I wouldnt skip those two, theyre not classics but are ok.

Everything on Station still blows me away, amazing album :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

I rarely actually listen to Sisters though, any more than 1 or 2 tunes and I feel a bit overdosed :(

cult - love: brother wolf sister moon

don't think i've listened to any of those tracks (willingly) in about 10 years :lol:
Wash your mouth out Guv, BWSM is a classic. Infact The Cult played fair with Love, by kindly sticking the only duff track in the final slot. I love everything on the album except Black Angel which is a stinker. I've never understood why it made the final cut when so many great Cult songs were used as b Sides in 1985?

I rarely sit through the following...

Harmonica Man - Dawnrazor
Butterflies - Dreamlike
Slow Down - Balaam/Greatest story
Here Today - Chameleons/Script

And especially...........the god awful reworking of Garden of Delight on Gods Own Medicine.

The Blu-Ray ROTJ version where "that" is added is a disgrace.

Anyway, Sisters...

Floodland : Torch
Vision Thing : WYDSM
SGWBM : Anaconda (apart from the 3 obvious ones)
ASCOO : No Time To Cry again!

whilst on the subject of New Order I'm afraid its Regret off Republic, it serves as a permanent reminder of seeing Peter Hook strutting about in a pair of tight speedos whilst he/the band were recording this album up the road from me...a sight you would not want to see :eek:

Regret, Confusion, The Perfect Kiss... you guys skip the best tracks :eek:


I usually skip tracks 1 to 4 (call it the A-side if you will) of The KLF's White Room album. Those are the singles that were played so much everywhere and are just so bombastic. Just like This Corrosion actually. One of the very few Sisters songs I skip sometimes.

I was wondering: Is there anyone who doesn't skip over "Shiva"?
& it got me to thinking.
Are there tracks you always skip on what are otherwise very good albums?
As the Boss calls it "The 1959 effect".
Sometimes I skip "Power" from The Nephilim as well as "Shiva", even though it's still my favourite FOTN LP.

"Arabian Knights" on JuJu just because I've heard it too often, "New Morning" on Tender Prey because it's a bit cheesy, there are quite a lot now you mention it...

Isn't Power on Dawnrazor rather than 'The Nephilim?

Not unless you have the super-hyper-rare, limited to 50 hand-numbered double vinyl box set edition from Greece.

I have been giving this some thought and I don't really skip tracks
There are obviously tracks I like less but I don't sit there with the remote ready to zap them and move on to the next one.
I think it is a leftover from the analogue age I tend to just put the disc on and let it play.
Sometimes I'll select a few 'faves' if the disc is new and I don't know many of them or a compilation or I don't have much time but that's about it.
