Nah, I don't have any real emotion for any Sisters songs.. that's as good as you're getting from me.

For someone who has over 6000 posts that's a real sign of 'no real emotion' and why pick one of the worst Sisters songs (there's three by the way, all on the first single)? Not being difficult or obscure are we?

Anyway my pick has to be Driven Like The Snow, Nine While Nine, Reptile House EP.

Matt..

I have loads of posts, but that doesn't mean many of them have related to TSOM.
And for what it's worth, I kinda wished that they had carried on in the same vein as that first single. Could have been some really good stuff.

This I understand completely. I really, really, really love Watch and the Damage Done. They've got a great primitive noise-rock vibe that really does it for me.

You really believe that? I always thought it was tenth rate which is why i've never shelled out £100s on the single. Everything that followed Damage Done was superior in my opinion. Gary is no singer and come to think of it Von is no drummer. It wasn't a dig either about your post count by the way, just an observation.

Hey, Damage Done is a pretty good track!

OK, it's not representative of the band, and probably not up to the standard of their other stuff, but it's nowhere near being the total trainwreck that popular mythology makes it out to be. Just a good thrashy punkoid track.

Ghostrider me love

It might be if it was recorded at all well. As it is, it sounds like it was played on a rubber band and cardboard boxes. By a drunk orang-utan.

right Stu, that song needs a proper recording session to be good....but we, Sisters lovers, appreciate it as it is

That's part of the charm for me! Agree to disagree?

Well, for something recorded with practice amps and no bass guitar, by an (apparently) incompetent producer in a s**t studio.. it's pretty damn good.

I wouldn't pay for the single though, not at these prices. I can only just bring myself to spend £20 on a bootleg.

i'd say

my alltime fav:
Lights

followed by:
SKoS
wide reciever

no particular order

I've always loved Flood 1 .

the reptile house ep in it's entirety (vinyl mix -no fade-down in the reprise)

heartland/gimme shelter -the greatest side of vinyl ever pressed.

dominion/mother russia.






for starters.

phantom [on speed] as always

To spring (or rather limp belatedly) to Korin's defence, there are a couple of pretty stonking live versions of Damage Done...
