Am I the only one who thinks Body And Soul is fookin brilliant then?

That depends. I'd assume that there's some kind of drug reference in it...

I really dig Suzanne. Also Nine While Nine. I'd pick something off Floodland, but it's kinda hard to break that album up. Can I choose Floodland as a single song?

no,you're certainly not.
the whole body and soul 12" is excellent (which at the time of buying made up for it being the first one not to have had the picture sleeve -since rectified).

i've avoided this thread 'cause i'ld end up typing everything they've ever done...so "all of them".

I'd like to suggest "Poison Door" as best original Sisters song not written by Von. Not that there's much of a choice. Seriously, it's a bad-ass number and I can't see any reason why it wasn't on FaLaA.

Since I'm new, and haven't done this before...

The next one...

Maybe there should be a Fave Song Of The Day forum, as it really does depend on how one's feeling.

This century it's still....Untitled / Sandstorm (Dominion b-side).

Though I was listening to the Disguised In Black boot yesterday (on a bit of an 85 boot-binge at the mo- bloody goths ) and was reminded of just how stonking Nine While Nine is. So that's next on the list.

Pre FALAA - Body Electric, Adrenochrome, Alice, Reptile House EP, Train, Afterhours

FALAA - Black Planet, Marian, Some Kind of Stranger

FALAA singles - Train, Afterhours, On The Wire, Bury Me Deep

Floodland - Flood, Flood II, Dominion/Mother Russia, Lucretia My Reflection

Vision Thing - Vision Thing, Ribbons, Dr Jeep

Vision Thing singles - When You Don't See Me (Remix), More (stupidly long version..)

Post VT - Under The Gun, Summer

(Note I'm not just as au fait with the new material...)

i'm with you there Dave -whenever this question rears it's head in any way i feel like a right arse-lick saying "all of them" but i really don't dislike anything by the sisters/sisterhood (SSV doesn't count) and fave's are always changing.

current fave:Summer

Why do no one like Phantom?Morricone ignorants
Did they ever play that song live?

because Phantom is a self-indulgent piece of nonsense?

and no i'm not ignorant of morricone. far from it. but its one of the few sisters tracks that makes me hit the skip button

and why would they ever play it live? its just floorshow with different guitars and no vocals.

yes, i like the music by the sisters of mercy.
i also like phantom, especially when it supports the girls on the catwalk (at a fashion shows, not simple sisters on stage)

Phantom is one of the rare tracks i can completely chill out to.

Guess it's time I actually replied to this thread... some topics never get old...

In no particular order...

Ribbons,
When You Don't See Me
Heartland
Gimme Shelter
Body And Soul
Flood 2
Driven Like The Snow
Fix
Floorshow
Black Planet
Under The Gun
No Time To Cry
Detonation Boulevard

and AMEN to Quiff on Phantom. The only Sisters track (apart from Watch and Kiss the Carpet Reprise) that I skip.

i like phantom (though i have more often than not skipped it).
it's got a very american indian feel to it, and should be played to all the dreadful hippies who frequent those african-drum-workshop-tents you get at glastonbury etc. as an example of why they shouldn't fucking bother.

it's got to be played very loud though -preferably through our big techno rig!

See, I always like that (you know yer talkin to a big Cult fan here ), but I never thought Von captured it that well, TBH...

Phantom's main problems are the muddy mix and the cheap drums

That's excactly why i love this song.It sounds like an old Morricone tape from the 60's.Wonderful.I guess it's time for a seperate Phantom lovers thread

That's my problem... I never got that whole Morricone thing from it, no matter how many times I hear it compared...

But I am quite possibly Just Stupid .

Quite surprised that When You Don't See Me has attracted quite a few votes of confidence. Well... guess I like it too, especially the remix.

But, I can't help thinking of one description I read somewhere... "like a gothic Reo Speedwagon"!

yeah... but without the gothic bit

I think if you want to hear a Morricone'ish Sisters song you're far better of with Afterhours... Mucho better

Though I do not dislike Phantom per se, but it's just there are so many better Sissies tracks. And like Boudicca, I didn't ever hear a bit of Morricone in it - though it is the first time I hear about this comparison
