Fav Sisters Number

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.

Have to agree with Quiff boy's two, and stick ribbons in there too. But Driven like...is overall my fave sisters tune. :grin:

Bloody Hell! Concensus!

I have to go with QB's two AND include Rob F's choice of Ribbons too!

Surely someone must disagree!

(I also think We Are the Same, Suzanne could be fantastic, given a studio going over!)

i like the sound of the fairly recent stuff (i.e. un recorded) and yeah, i'd like to hear the studio versions (as long as they don't end up like fake american MOR nonsense)

failing that, good things good things good things, 1 song i love (going back to the why never released issue?¿?)

ok, now someone tell me just how wrong i am!!!!

2. Bury Me Deep (my personal funeral march)
3. Ribbons (specially the odd drum-rhythm)
4. 9 while 9 (oh sooo beautiful)
5. War On Drugs (WAHEY! Where's them Injunz??)

2) Body + Soul (controversially - according to some recent posts!!)
3) dominion/mother russia
4) Afterhours (though not tried it at 33 RPM!!)
5) Lucretia (12" version)
6) Valentine
7) Good Things...
:cool: The 'new' one with THE bass line that I can never remember the title of...D'oh!
9) Shut The F*ck Up off SSV - (wannafight? Aaaahtsiiiidddeeee naaaaah!)
10) Gimme Shelter (yeah, yeah still counts despite its original provenance!!!)

Oh dear, that's too many innit..?

The Sisters have many great songs, but I’d have to go with Dr. Doom’s listing, with a couple of changes:
VT—Dr. Jeep
Their best cover? Emma
