Sisters of Mercy up until 1985 Simple Minds 1978-82 The Smiths Rolling Stones - the sixties version bauhaus Joy Division Edited by Kermit8 (23 Apr 2015 12.10pm) The above comment has rocked me to the very core. Vision Thing and Floodland were my favourites. Ohhhh I'm torn, personally I think all three albums actually stand as perfect albums, I do also really love the EPs and 12"'s (although I generally only listen to them on the 'Some Girls Wonder'. I'm also quite happy to point at the best line ups of the Sisters being in the 90s (technically speaking). Plus the 'functionality of having access to an actual studio allows a lot more flexibility in terms of recording that home pressed 4 tracks doesn't. I really don't get the whole pre-1985 superiority thing. Three very different, very thematic albums. Tracks like Flood and Lucreatia easily stand up to tracks like Alice and Burn. Floodland is an amazing album (it has so much more variety of style, from introspection, to pomp to floor stomping rock). Sisters of Mercy without Driven like the Snow, Flood, Something Fast, Ribbons, Detonation Boulevard or I was Wrong... Never.

Granted, but I'm a huge Tony James fan not just from his SoM days and so although the band changed considerably, it still changed into something amazing for me. Albeit something I didn't actually discover and fall in love with until 1998!

I've only seen SoM once (2006 I think) which makes me something less of an expert. Eldritch was the only 'proper' member of the band by then of course. I think I'm a little younger than you guys - that's my excuse!

Marx a man so talented he'd go on to form the dire Ghost Dance, the only redeeming feature being Anne Marie 'I'll wear anything to succeed' Hirst, before finally becoming a teacher. Gunn on the other hand went into Accountancy. Sure Hussey / Adams, but the Sisters was always really a one man show.

I think I'm a little younger than you guys - that's my excuse! Except maybe on Damage Done, the Sisters was always a one man show. That's why most people left! In fairness, being somewhat younger than Kermie, I didn't see the Sisters until 1988 but I have seen them about 12 times. I did have some bootlegs of their very early gigs, hopefully its the quality of the bootlegs that make them sound terrible live.

We need a Sisters of Mercy thread in Gold Talk. My answer to all the music related questions on here tends to be 'Sisters of Mercy'.

Three guitars, Doktor Avalanche, dry ice, Andrew's voice and some serious serious moshing before the word had even been invented. The future Sisters' were just imposters The live youtube stuff from the early 80's is atrocious quality but it was actually thumpingly good in the hall itself. Time for a bit of 'Body Electric' and 'Andrenochrome' methinks.
