List Your 5 Most Played (non tsom)LP/CD's In Your Collection

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

The five most non-Sisters listened to are pretty easy to pick. Without any doubt, these five had recieved the most hammering on the Spig turntable/cassette deck/cd player over the years.

1. Stone Roses - Stone Roses
2. The Smiths - Hatfull of Hollow
3. The Chameleons - Strange Times
4. The Cult - Love
5. Echo & The Bunnymen - Songs To Sing & Learn

I wouldn't want to give a definitive order, as along with F&L&A, they have alll been on heavy rotation.

Honorable mentions also to the following, which have also entertained me above and beyong the call of duty.............

Red Lorry Yellow Lorry - Paint Your Wagon
New Order - Substance Disc 1
The Specials - the Specials
The House of Love - First Album
The Jam - All Mod Cons
Paris Angels - Sundew (stop laughing at the back, I love it....so shoot me :oops: )

Finally, some of the latecomers, which would possibly feature in one of the above catagories if you asked me the question again in 10 years time

Mansun - Attack of The Grey Lantern
Embrace - The Good Will Out
The Charlatans - Tellin Stories

To all of the above pieces of Black plastic, silver plastic or even (hells bells) 'orrible lengths of brown tape, the Spigster salutes you for your long & welcomed companionship. :notworthy:

Are you all guys being absolutely honest with it ? Are these really the LPs you were constantly listening to when you were 13 or 14, and only had a handful of records that meant the world to you ? These are generally the one who get played the most in the long run. Time to get the skeletons out of the closet, ladies and gentlemen.

Well, when I was 12 or 13, I only listened to swedish music. But no one heard about these bands outside of Sweden. Well maybe Gyllene Tider (Per Gessle from Roxette).

Damned ~ Damned, Damned, Damned/Music For Pleasure
Stranglers ~ Black And White/No More Heroes

during 81 with money from the YOP job and DHSS, albums played a bigger part in my listening...

It would of only been three albums if I hadn’t named the sisters.

I’ve never been much of an album man. I like sorting out the songs I like from bands and then making personal compilations.

Yep, and we've met the evidence! :twisted: :P :lol:

I loved that "Attack Of The Grey Lantern" album too, when I was 13 I listened to it nonstop (along with Suede and the Manics). I went off it after about a year and the tape vanished but I'd like to hear it again, just for a little Blast from The Past :wink: .

I remember reading something in *splutter!* the NME (for I did buy it, I must confess, when I was that age) about the singer from Mansun, describing his style of singing as "a bit "who tightened the nipple clamps?"" :lol: Can't really argue with that, but they did have some good songs. I liked that "Legacy" one they released the year after as well.
