what about this...

Does Emma count? It is a cover version!

I think it counts (since it's so good)

No contest. Some kind of stranger. The end of the end.

Afterhours for me, very down in it :(:(

None of the above.

"Driven like the Snow", hands down.

I voted for "other"!

Other in this case being any "Sisters" song later 'liberated' by The Missio n !

I too have voted for other. I find none of the above depressing, merely emotionally draining yet weirdly exillarating.
I'd vote for 'More' - due to it's horrendous over production and over long monotiny.

"marian" depresses me, but mainly because its a tedious plodding drone of a track.

no songs really depress me - my mood is only ever uplifted by good music

and "driven..." is way too groovy to be called depressing!

some kind of stranger, though i have to run away and blub when emma comes on.

i suppose the original version of emma is quite emotionally draining - errol really lets loose and gives it his all... he means it, maaaan

None of the above - Bury Me Deep is the one.

On the original tape I made of the 84 onwards stuff, I followed Bury Me Deep with Emma, and it is DAMN effective.

I agree that Bury me deep is depressing, but for all the wrong reasons. If I was listening to the Sisters for the first time and I heard this song I would think it was the worst kind of dodgy goth toss.


Sorry if this offends anyone.

well i suppose so - i find it too bland .. its AE's voice that does it for me.

I agree, I find the original just too "bouncy".

nope. it's a nice tune with a great baritone vocal and some lovely fiddly led zepp geetar bits, but its very nearly goff nonsense of the highest order

i must take issue with the bouncyness of "driven..." though! its a superb track and benefits from a decent groovy bassline!

sorry Quiff, I didnt mean Driven.. I meant Emma. The hot chocolate version is just to upbeat for such a sad song.

Hmmm, I have to say I agree about Bury Me Deep. I love the song, but it is really ridiculous. Honestly, I really, really like it, but I only listen to it about once every two years. It's not that I'm embarrassed to like it...but... it's not the kind of song you'd play on desert island discs, is it?

I too like it very much. Odd thing is that I listened to it a great deal one summer when I'd got myself my first car and to me that song, together with Blood Money, is so strongly associated with summer mornings, sun through the blinds, cool shades beneath green trees and the euphoric freedom that only a car can provide, that it makes me very, very happy every time I listen to it. I can actually feel the summer breeze just by listening to it.

sorry guys. forgot to include "Bury me deep" in the list. It should have been there

"Nine While Nine" in the Other choice...been there in that situation a good few times too so it is one that can induce me to total melancholy if I'm in that frame of mind......

Favourite memory of a Sisters track is first morning on Corfu, watching the sun come up, my Brixton Briefcase blasting out Bury Me Deep to a deserted beach while I was in an 'altered state'...... spins me back down the years, bliss. :D:D

Agree. 'Bury Me Deep' sends chills up my spine every fecken time..... Ask Vision about that

Izzy.

"We Are The Same, Susanne" - each time I listen to this marvellous song I fall into deep depression because there's no good official version of it
