What are you favorite sisters songs?

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.

Modern live version of No Time To Cry, and I'm glad I'm not the only one to think Alice '93 is the best studio work the 'Sters have ever done - eeever so slightly eclipsing Ribbons.

I think I'd almost agree with that. It's hard to know which one eeks out the top spot though. Alice 93 was a harbinger of great things to come that never actually arrived. I love that fat, ugly, nasty bass on that song.

I'll second you on that. My copy of Alice is absolutely munted, must have played it thousands of times.
