Sisters Of Mercy
 

Besides Bauhaus I's say that they are the best goth band ever. Their first two albums were perfect. What are some of your opinions on them?

hey now hey now now,
sing this corrosion to me ..


i used to love them ...

ministry too ..

and the mission .. sort of rounded up the pack ..

Wouldn't have picked you were into Ministry :confused:

Haven't heard much Sisters Of Mercy.

I love Bauhaus and Ministry.. I just bought Ministry's 'Early Trax' and 'Side Trax' CDs.. if you like Ministry, you should definitely pick them up.

Floodland....great album.

yeah i was into all that stuff when it was out ..

flesh for lulu ..

gene loves jezebel ...

lots of bauhaus and the offshoots of that band ..


i ate up anything new as it came out ..

i have southern death cult albums ,,, that became the death cult, that became the cult ... our joke at the time was that they'd eventually be known as 'The C'

how about sigue sigue sputnik ?

alien sex fiend...

gang of four, gun club, generation x, dance society, psychadelic furs, jesus and mary chain, the colour field, dag nasty,

etc etc etc ...

You get into The Birthday Party or Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds?

or how about, Siouxsie and the Banshees?

yep - and yep to the banshees ..

i dont have any nick cave though .. except for his cover of In The Ghetto somewhere on a tape ..

there isnt much from that timeframe that i dont have on vinyl

This thread has inspired me to go through some CDs i haven't listened to in a while and bring them to work.

I grabbed these 5

Sisters of Mercy--Floodland [ i have Vision Thing somewhere on cassette.]

Tool--Lateralus

Pearl Jam--Live On Two Legs

DIO--Anthology

A3--La Pesta

you're all over the map with that selection :)

i recently unpacked a box full of my old mixed tapes that i made in the late 80's and i've been playing them in the car ..
its like old music rediscovery week ..

I've had to replace alot of my old cassettes with cds, either because the tapes just haven't been playing well, or I lost them.
I still kept the tapes I've replaced with cds

I like to mix it up.




notice...NO Allman Bros....see....i have other interest.

im more of a metal head then a goth but sisters of mercy realy know theyr stuff, i mean...walk away? timeless...

Gonna modify this statement. After given this a listen today i'm going to say its a "good" album...not great. Andrew Eldritch just doesn't have much range and therefore renders it kind of boring.

Like so many groups that i have listened to when i was younger,this kind of falls into the "hmmmm.....i liked that?" catagory.

The same can be said for these bands that were favs of mine

Black Oak Arkansas
Oingo Boingo
Underworld

i'm sure there are a few more but i can't think of them off the top of my head.

oingo boingo is a HUGE favorite of mine ..

I have a lot of their albums .. including the danny elfman solo ...
anything you've been looking for and cant find ?

No...i have about 3 or 4 of thiers.By solo do you mean "Music for a Darkened Theatre"? I have that one as well.

no sir !

a solo vinyl he put out when he was still in oingo boingo

with the 'hit' Gratitude ..


re. oingo boingo - i have :

1980 Oingo Boingo (EP)

1981 Only a Lad

1982 Nothing to Fear

1985 Dead Man's Party

1986 Boi-ngo

1994 Boingo

mostly vinyl - except the last oen ...

hmmm....i guess you are a fan.


They do have a DVD that i'll probabaly pick up.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...309601-6083921

If you would like a copy of "Music From a Darkened Theatre", i'll be happy to send you one.

i'll happily tape any of the others for you ....
i cant commit to transferring to CD because i'm not in front of the PC long enough to do that these days ..

you think i'm slow with DVDs .. thats lightning compared to re-encoding vinyl ..

It is a pain to copy vinyl to cd. I also have a cd burner hooked up to my stereo and have done a few.I hate it when you get near the end of a record and then you get a big dust ball on the needle....fucks up the whole recording.

i would do each track seperately - thats what made it so time consuming ...

Yes, Sisters Of Mercy definitely have some great metal elements to them. Motorhead is one of their favorite bands afterall...

Ministry is also great as some of you have mentioned. They too also are very metal... starting with The Land of Rape and Honey.
Siouxsie is another favorite of mine. I don't really know a lot of Oingo Boingo but Danny Elfman is a great composer. Most of the bands aforementioned by you guys are great and I'm very glad to see that the people here have good taste. :D

most = all of my choices, and one or 2 of Newbs :p

Yeah...Black Oak Arkansas does'nt really belong in this thread.

One of my favorite bands, and I agree that the first two albums are the best. Some Girls Wander By Mistake is good, but it's just a collection of their early EPs and singles.
