Favourite Sisters Era?

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.

84-85 gets my vote, as the bands golden period. Close call betwen that and 81-83.
Give me one good reason

Here's how I break it down:

From the angle of pure enjoyment, Floodland era. I'm too young (32 now, so I would have been about 13 or 14 when I was mostly unaware of any underground music) to have been a fan at the time, but I like it in retrospect. I don't think it is by any means Andrew's best stuff, but it is the one that makes me want to dance and have a good time.

From an objective angle, however, i think anything First and Last and Always and earlier is their most important work.

1981 - 1983.

Everything after 1985, although great, is the Andrew Eldritch solo show masquerading as The Sisters of Mercy, imho.

I've finally come up with a logical answer. Voted for 2003-current, just because it's so good to love a band who've had so many fabulous incarnations so far.

well, definitely the 84-85 area, including the alice stuff and so on. Why ? I was young and reckless at that time and i definatley made a hugh impression on me ;D . Result : still love those songs. Anything after that not good ? :roll: :roll: of course it is.? Just a bit different. But high quality as well. But in life.....it's all about making choices and this is mine.
Although I saw my first sister concert this year :oops: :oops: :oops: I must say it wasn't bad but I'm sure as hell pissed on myself that I never went to see them in the laong black coat with hat area :lol: :lol: :lol:

I suggest you take a look at your EP collection and see what year Alice was released. :P
Or maybe you think there should be no distinction between the 81-83 and 84-85 eras ? :?:

Agreed on both counts.
