The Sisters of Mercy are an English rock band formed in Leeds in 1980. After achieving early underground fame there, the band had their commercial breakthrough in the mid-1980s and sustained it until the early 1990s, when they stopped releasing new records in protest against their record company, WEA .

- First And Last And Always (First And Last And Always, 1985) This began life as The Scottish One (because of Gary Marx’s vaguely Celtic lead riff) in1983 and was crying out to be a single.
- Vision Thing (Vision Thing, 1990) Vision Thing starts with a sniff and rides hard on a riff that sounds like Cradle To The Grave by Motorhead, its coked-to-the gills revelation that the USA was just as much a narcocracy as Panama or Colombia in the Reagan-Bush era; the cumulative effect of all those sniffs: “another motherfucker in a motorcade.”

- Nine While Nine (First And Last And Always, 1985) The Sisters song that is the least arch, the least masked in irony, the least requiring of footnotes or a gloss to grasp.
