When should the Sisters have called it quits?

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.

I think the results from the previous voting thread are a fatal stab to the heart of the haters. ;D

Time to close the poll. And the results are:

When should the Sisters have called it quits?
After Reptile House? 3% [ 3 ]
After FALAA? 15% [ 12 ]
After Floodland? 2% [ 2 ]
After Vision Thing 10% [ 8 ]
Go on forever? 67% [ 53 ]

So it looks like an overwhelming win for "go on forever". Glad we never had to discuss that one again.

It all depends on your definition of "go on forever". I don't think the current operations of the band deserve that label. They basically quit after Under The Gun, only to do a couple of gigs now and then. They could have easily released 2 or 3 albums in the last 20 years.

Currently, the situation is even better for bands. It's quite easy to record a couple of songs and release them on your website. The fact that nothing such has ever come up, means Eldritch doesn't care about releasing new stuff. For me that means the band has quit.

Yeah, but they don't seem to want to release anything. Or at least not Herr Von E.
How sad/silly/smart that may be...
