Shellshocked Radio Recommendations - The Sisters of Mercy - Temple of Love ( + King Sinister) #74

Well, I guess I'm preaching to the choir here,  @The Sisters of Mercy - Topic  are a stable of the goth culture / goth music even though apparently Andrew Eldritch hates the term "Goth" in conjecture with his music. And in a way, I have to side with him, the music of "the Sisters" has not much in common with  @Joy Division   @neworder  or  @Siouxsie And The Banshees  who are really "Post Punk" and "Proto Goth", so yes, you can say that they are just a Rock Band. 

Still, they are living icons and have spun so many new iterations of music Wayne Hussey's  @The Mission  and inspired many, many more. 

Including myself, so that Simplefixty and I (  @Megalmodas  ) created our very own cover version ( https://youtu.be/3wAB2i7kgwI ) this year to honor our heroes.  

Anyway, if Andrew likes it or not, he has become associated with the Goth music and put a big stamp on it in his way. So, I can say for myself, thank you very much for all the great music!  

Here is the Original recording from 1983:
