Hello there!

.. You like 'Sisters Of Mercy'?

Well.. That's just an obvious question isn't it..

I don't really know what to put here, but.. if there's any questions you would like to ask.. ask away

I'm Magenta, 16, female, from Australia.

*hugs*

i have lost this thread 3 times!!! thanx ntl 4 nothing!!

SoM - classic trak: temple of love... i will not get drawn into whethr it is the finest SoM - cos thatz pointless (2 me)

Shame that none have posted here b4

there are other i cite from my past: fields of the nephilim, the mission, the cult, bauhaus... even as far zodiac mindwarp. yes, i am that old:p ... who cares?

Thought Floodlands was THE best Sisters album then Vision Thing....things started to go a bit hit and miss after that in my humble opinion.

Eldritch f*cked up when he told all the goths that went to see the sisters at a festival to f*ck off....not a clever mover seeing as tho most of the audience were goths at one point or another.

FotN = class
Bauhaus = superb
Japan = atmospheric tho not strictly goth I know
Cure = love em
Mission = in the right mood
Spear of Destiny = as above
Violent Femmes = first had a tape that a Kiwi mate of mine did for me - love their stuff

Hey I remember Zodiac too - what was the song where the video involved a tank driving thro a convent dorm wall.....classy stuff

I'm also in the UK - not so good but at least it's the home of goth music

Floodland was their only good album. The rest is butt rock.

Woah, a 16 year old that knows who Sisters of Mercy are...will wonders never cease?

Forgive me for being predictable, but my favorite Sisters song of all time will always be 'Lucretia My Reflection'.

Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction?! Man, you really are old...


Shadowborn

Spoken like someone with true musical tunnelvision. A band decides to put a little more guitar and balls into their music, and suddenly it turns into 'buttrock'. I've heard that whitewash term applied to everything from Poison to Metallica, to Oingo fucking Boingo, which just goes to show that people who throw that term about don't know what their talking about.

What about 'First, Last, and Always'? That came before 'Floodland', and though it wasn't quite as polished as the aforementioned album, had a few gems on it.

Sisters are chill.

did someone say Oingo Boingo? *ears perk up*

Yep. I love those guys. The reference I was refering to in my previous post was a guy I met who was a big fan of Danny Elfwood's movie scores. I asked whether he was into Oingo Boingo and he said 'who'? I was flabbergasted. So at next available opportunity I let him listen to a tape of theirs. He grimaced and went "Oh, they're buttrock." He's dead now, but you can't pin anything on me and they'll never find the body...


Shadowborn

I dont understand how someone can say they like SoM and then call all of their stuff after Floodlands "Buttrock". Obviously someone doesnt know their music very well. Buttrock is Anthrax, not SoM!

They are great. My favourite song from them is In the Temple Of Love.

Now don't go saying Anthrax is buttrock. Anthrax kicks ass.
