    "Mutter" - Rammstein

    if allowed perhaps 9 more, then :

    1. "Floodland" : - Sisters of Mercy
    Seriously ... Floodland above First & Last & Always?
    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

      WHS....

      Lucretia is great - has one of those seminal bass riffs but overall I wouldn't rated it above FALAA.
      Eeyore was very glad to be able to stop thinking for a little, in order to say "How do you do" in a gloomy manner to Pooh.
      "And how are you?" said Winnie-the-Pooh.
      Eeyore shook his head from side to side. "Not very how," he said. "I don't seem to felt at all how for a long time."

        We were there too

        Very emotional on the last night

          Aye, it was sad.

          We were just behind the mosh-pit "human pyramid" of the tatooed fellas. (Not you I hope) :-)

          They were quite entertaining.
          Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

            I know First & Last & Always is considered their magnus opus, but I liked the change in direction with Floodland, from guitar to synthesisers.

            I could listen to Dominion/Mother Russia", Lucretia My Reflection and This Corrosion, over and over again as these songs, for me, epitomise the Sisters.

            YMMV of course !

              My personal faves are "Temple of Love" and "Gimme Shelter".
              The vegetarian option.

                    I've always preferred the Bus Station Loonies version of Temple.....

                      I've not heard it. I always preferred "The Anti-nowhere League" version of Ralph McTells' "Streets of London".
