While The Cult’s injection of rock’n’roll bombast into post-punk was sacrilegious to some, one can’t help but dance to the infectiousness of tracks like ‘Rain’ and ‘Hollow Man.’ There’s a sincerity to Ian Astbury’s androgynous Bowie-fied take on Jim Morrison that is absent from the machismo arena goth of The Sisters. The extent to which they influenced “grunge” is debatable, but it’s undeniable that Mother Love Bone had more in common with The Cult than Nirvana. A classic goth rock classic.
Favorite track: Rain (Remastered).
