Listening to the Sisters of Mercy at 16 convinced me that wearing cheap reflective mirror shades and pointy suede winklepicker boots that fell apart after 2 months was a grand idea. Add to the fact that I thought that Andrew Eldritch was a truly immense talent of a singer, leads to a Melly obsessed with wanting to be a bloody Leeds goth himself. Fact - I actually got into playing guitar because I used to have dreams of playing onstage with Wayne Hussey! Thank God I was also listening to Big Black and the Butthole Surfers at the same time...
Rob - Christ, I also remember going through a bunch of personal shit a few years back, and on listening to "The Thin Ice" (A LOT), would break down. I can still listen to "The Wall" on the whole, but there's some odd and not entirely pleasant memories that said record holds for me.
