Mission UK for me. Often ridiculed for wanting to be a "goth wannabe band" or "goth-lite", they actually have some great albums.

Mission UK. Great band, I love almost everything they've done that I've heard.

Both are great. The Bolshoi's "Happy Boy" was one of my favs. I would have to pick them. The Mission sort of lost me with the "Masque" album.

It will always be Bolshoi for me, and as I've mentioned in a previous thread, I love "Away" & "Sunday Morning"... Lindy's Party was indeed a nice release.

I'm going with Bolshoi - that 1st ep (with 'Giants') and 'Fiends' are great ones...never picked up Lindy's Party, have to look in the used bins.
I have 'God's Own Medicine' by the Mission but had trouble beyond that - I think I actually gave a pal my c

The Bolshoi. Though I've only been a fan for a little over a year, I think their albums in whole are better than The Mission. For me The Mission are fine for a greatest hits collection or two, which I have, but The Bolshoi had a larger amount of appealing
