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.
That's all. Mark The Sisters' Vision Thing and we'll see where it ends in this Top Album 300 List. Go kids, go!!! What we will see if VT ends up higher than the president.
But be warned. This Poll only counts from Saturday! So don't do it earlier...
Or "Elisium".

Put a cork in it!
Vision Thing is not that bad!
Infact I like it better than The Gift....
And don't get me started on Neph!! They can't carry Vons jock

Maybe not quite the "Gift from God and his angels" that Von likes to think it is, but a stonking good rock 'n' roll LP all the same, and a thunderously enjoyable experience in a HM bar at 2 in the morning with umpteen pints of cider hammering through ya.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
Vision thing rocks.
But I'm not going to vote either. They picked Kate Bush's first over The dreaming and Hounds of love !!!
That's just sick !
They also picked The Cure's 17 seconds over Pornography and Disintegration. I'm not going to support such nonsense.

I'd end this moment to be with you
Through morphic oceans I'd lay here with you
Ignoring the Vision thing debate.There is some top albums on this poll,Much more interesting than the usual Westlife v Will young s**t we get in Britain.
Can,Roxy,Underworld,Capt.Beefheart,Motorhead and Zappa .Top stuff.You don't see them on "Q" s polls do you?
It must be all that "Shkunk" they shmoke in Holland .And the poncakesh.
@ 9 while 9
Thing is The Neph did carry Von's Jock and ran with it.And used a vacuum pump to make it bigger and better!

How can anybody dislike Ribbons, When You Don't See Me, Something Fast, Detonation Boulevard, Dr Jeep, I Was Wrong and More?
Very easily I'm afraid(apart from more).Ijust play "Floodland" or "First and last and always" or "Some girls wander by mistake".
Then I realise what a crock "Vision thing" is.
No offence,people but I really hate it!

Hey - I'll vote for it! But then I'd vote for I Am Rock by Zodiac Mindwarp. And Dawnrazor.
I must say, I rushed back all the way from Nottingham to Peterborough with the More 12", dying to put it on my turntable, and it was one of the most disappointing experiences ever. Rather like Brain Drain by the Ramones. And Impurity by New Model Army. And Razors Edge by AC/DC. 1990 wasn't shaping up into a good year, despite my almost continual intoxication.
When VT was released, it gave me a good deal more inspiration. Dr Jeep (so much more damaged and screaming than the 12" version), When You don't See Me (ok, not the most original, but listen to the bass in the quieter moments) Detonation Boulevard (I was a great fan of the Nemesis story in 200AD, so anything mentioning Torquemada was good for me) and I Was Wrong, not to mention VT, was good for me.
So yes, a shock to the system. But, ultimately, a good one. It's got my vote.
There are worse things than murder at the back of the mind.

More than made up for by the B-side I hope.
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

More's a good song. I Was Wrong is a very good song, and Something Fast is quite good. Vision Thing has its time and place. Detonation, WYDSM, Doctor Jeep I can live without. But Ribbons...
Ribbons...
Is the sound of the heavens splitting open. Come on!

Incredible b-side. I don't know why they don't play it live.
