I agree with Helmstok, I’d much rather listen to Bauhaus or Virgin Prunes.
But for the rare occasion I’m in the mood for that style of goth, I’d probably pick The Mission, with the Sisters of Mercy coming in second, and I don’t particularly care all that much for Fields of the Nephilim.
Sisters of Mercy, But Fields of the Nephilim is a close second
All are good… but uncle Andy is the best.
The Sisters lyrics are perfect, and Andrew has a unique voice. Caught them a few years ago on their silver bullet tour (silver anniversery). Caught them both in Vegas, and in DC… both shows were great, though the starter band for them was pretty crappy.
“I’m lying on my back now
The stars look all too near
Flowers on the razor wire
I know you’re here
We are few
And far between
I was thinking about her skin
Love is a many splintered thing
Don’t be afraid now
Just walk on in
(Flowers on the razor wire)
(Walk on in)
Her eyes were cobalt red
Her voice was cobalt blue
I see no purple light
Crashing out of you
So just walk on in
(Flowers on the razor wire)
(Walk on in)
Her lovers queued up in the hallway
I heard them scratching at the door
I tried to tell her
About Marx and Engels, God and Angels
I don’t really know what for
But she looked good in ribbons
So just walk on in
She looked good in ribbons
So just walk on in”
SOM.
Black Planet is one of my all time favorite tunes.
Andy Eldritch, what’s up bro?
The Sisters for me as well.They were more interesting,explored a broader range of sounds IMO,and I like Eldritch’s voice the best.
i used to really like sisters until, that is, i saw them in concert a few years ago. they lip synched their way thru the whole show and used tons of fog and darkness to hide it. we knew what was up when their music skipped. oops.
out of those, I like Sisters of Mercy best
Sister of Mercy by a long shot. However, you should listen to Irish band The Virgin Prunes album ‘If I die, I die’ Best Goth album ever!!
the mission
The Sisters of Mercy. The others are ok, but they don’t compare to the Sisters in my opinion, not by a long stretch.
The Sisters of Mercy, the other two dont compare(although i do like The Mission)…
I prefer the mission
Cocteau twins, but out of these 3, I’d have to pick the mission if i really, really had to pick one of them.
fields of the nephilim no contest
pas the sick bucket. i preferred the virgin prunes and bauhaus
Sisters of Mercy. Saw them twice in their prime. Well, I sort of saw something moving behind the dry ice….
Fields of The Nephilim were at least quite funny. The Mission were hopeless – just because you can be a good guitarist for one band doesn’t mean you can be any good as a singer/songwriter for another.
