Anybody got recs for Sisters of Mercy? Corrosion is the poo poo but the 80's reek is just behind stage with them from where I'm standing

Late to the party, but try "Lucretia My Reflection."

I don't know whether it got much airplay back in the day; I only recall hearing "This Corrosion" a lot. Plus, I had conflated them with Shriekback ("Nemesis" getting airplay) for reasons that must have made sense to my middle-school-aged brain. Decades later, I liked the title of Caitlin R Kiernan's short-story collection Two Worlds and In Between, and "Lucretia My Reflection" turned out to be the source.

Something about the opening bass line is compelling enough that I can use that song for a palate cleanser after some interruption has stopped me from focusing on a project. Only drawback is that YouTube always wants to segue into "Mother Russia" afterward, and that is just not a good song.
