What are you favorite sisters songs?

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 a great list, Andymackem. I would say Lucretia, Nine While Nine, Lights, Floorshow, Ribbons, We are the Same Suzanne, Some Kind of Stranger, On the Wire, Driven Like the Snow and Adrenochrome. There, that's exactly ten slices of perfection.

1-8 are great choice(s)!

I'd add in no particular order of importance: I Was Wrong (probably not liked by many), Flood II, Body Electric (original version, don't like the 84 version much), Knocking On Heaven's Door RAH version, and naturally the Reptile House EP as a whole is still my favourite! :D

I'm new here. So, I figured, this would be a good post to start off with.

In no particular order

afterhours
poison door
nine while nine
fix
anaconda
lucretia
lights
walk away
driven like the snow
ribbons

Granted, this is highly unaccurate. I just picked the first favorite 10 that came to mind.

it was the first song from the sisters I heard, and for years it was the only one I liked.
when I finaly started to listen to the records I forgot about it and I don't like comparing it to the other songs. they have a difrent Vibe.
and something I think alot of other heartlanders may feel as well, it is (exept for alice) the only SoM song what gets played over here (party's and on the radio ) over the years it has builld up a reputation.
I like the song, not the reputation. :roll: if you unerstand what I try to say.

I would have done something, but I was overwhelmed by a lack of concern.

8 - Torch
9 - Rock and A Hard Place
10 - Marian
11 - Valentine (Sooooooooo pure this song, I LOVE IT !!!)

i hear you sister. i hear you.

i really should get back downstairs and finishing watching that wake dvd... at least its a dvd on pause and not a vhs so the tape isn't goign to stretch :lol:

but even just sat here at the keyboard i've now decided that SKOS/comfortably numb, the 12" of lucretia, and the live cover of "bei mir bist du schone" are the best thing since sliced bread :lol:

*sigh*

just toooooo many good songs :0
