Apologies if this one's been done; I'm Road Kill.
Did a a Search ...
Smart money would say Gang of Four or Public Enemy. I'm going for The Scientists. Coventry Polytechnic 1985. First Sisters gig. First gig, full stop.
Can include bands below Sisters at festivals.
Or flip it: best band the Sisters supported? Includes being below them on festival bills also.
Gun Club, surely?
Best Sisters support band?

Depeche Mode weren't too bad as support.
I was so pissed I fell asleep!

I really like Black Moth, though I've not seen them live.
Course of Empire played with them on at a few US dates on the Event Horizon tour, and were always a good bet live. Initation and Telepathic Last Words are both fine records.

The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity but the one that removes the awareness of other possibilities, that makes it seem inconceivable that other ways are viable, that removes the sense that there is an outside.

The Smiths! Or did the Sisters support them?
Never made that gig sadly!

My favourite support were probably Flesh and Fell (Gent 85). The Furs were probably the best I saw them support. Would have loved to have seen one of the gigs where they were on with the Violets, or to have seen how they went down with the Aswad fans.
Honourable mention for Black Moth who were great in Glasgow. Love this slow-builder set opener. A kind of Kiss The Carpet for the Royal Blood generation https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=f56mIDs1C-E.

More recently, iLiKETRAINS and Ulterior were fine to me, or back in 2006 Nihil.
Most support acts have, at the minimum, been interesting.
I've hardly ever seen one that I totally disliked, well maybe in 1998 ...

I was late getting to Wembley Arena so I missed them.
I'd seen them play as a support act at Liverpool Poly shortly before because a friend knew the singer so we went along. Loved them.
Gutted to miss them at Wembley

iggy pop. ok not technically supporting but on the reading bill (2 days) before the girls. hearing both acts' versions of 1969 in the same weekend was cool.
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

March Violets for me. Although hearing the Sisters play Hawkwind almost made me puke.

Didn't like DM in the day, but with my recent tastes I'd had loved to see Sisters with DM
