511. The Sisters of Mercy

Known primarily as a Goth band, The Sisters of Mercy combined dark imagery with an intriguing blend of Alternative Pop, Metal and Psychedelic influences. A very polarizing band, their brooding fans identified with music on a very deep level. Those who were not fans found them a self-aggrandizing group that was not as good as they thought they were. Regardless of opinion, their spot as a key Goth and Alternative band is without doubt.
