Best albums of 1986

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.

Not a vintage year but Iesus has picked out the best - not forgetting the Lorries, of course. Wonder how well Goth's Own Medicine (sic) will fare in a quiet year for the usual Slicing Up Eyeballs suspects (Cure, DM etc).

Sisterhood, hands down :lol:

I bet that a couple of my own guilty pleasure votes (The Godfathers, Balaam and the Angel ) get nowhere near the top 100. After the showing of FALAA, it will be interesting to see how Gift does considering that it was neatly airbrushed from TSOM history for many years before being rediscovered as a "lost classic". I would be surprised if it makes the top 20 for that reason.

Interesting list. Just made it through and entered my vote: Coil, Death in June, Swans, This Mortal Coil, Smiths, Sisterhood, Diamanda, etc, etc. Obviously not much metal on the ballot but Metallica - Master of Puppets, Slayer - Reign in Blood, Possessed - Beyond the Gates & Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus would have easily topped my list had they been included.

Sisterhood - Gift. Done.

Wow. Godfathers 'Hit By Hit'... the most kick arse opening onslaught to a debut album ever.
