Top 10 Ministry Downloads on iTunes

Discussion
1

This is what the iTunes store reports as the most frequently downloaded Ministry tracks (based on what’s actually for sale on the site):

  1. Everyday is Halloween
  2. Jesus Built My Hotrod
  3. Stigmata
  4. All Day
  5. NWO
  6. Just One Fix
  7. Psalm 69
  8. Thieves
  9. Burning Inside
  10. Lay Lady Lay

I had to consolidate a couple of tracks, since the iTunes store counts tracks that appear on more than one album (e.g., LoRaH and Greatest Fits) separately.

I wonder what Al thinks of this? Two of the top five are 1984 dark wave classics. We all know where he stands on “With Sympathy”, but what about “Halloween”? 20 years later that track is number one on iTunes?!?

easy - consider the rescent release of ministry’s “early trax” cd…

but well i think both all day and halloween are great tunes :slight_smile: it’s sorta… i dunno, when i get tired of “guitar” ministry i pop in 12" singles or twitch and they rule!

Everyday is Halloween is probably one of their most played songs in clubs too, just because they’ll play that song anywhere, and not just the clubs that would normally play Just One Fix or NWO (especially Halloween time).

Al, I don’t think, hates that song at all…

4

All Day is one of my all time favourites!

Agreed. It was somewhat of a rhetorical question, because “Halloween” has been one of my favorite Ministry tracks for a long, long time. I routinely hear it on the radio, used to hear it in clubs, and it’s become a staple of Sirius’ dark wave playlist.

Part of “Halloween” being on top might be due to The Onion naming it in one of their mixlists.

All Day and Everyday are probably in my top 5 for Ministry. Those songs made two beer commercials into two great beer commercials.

Everday is Halloween = pure cocksuckery

Just listen to Superjoint Ritual. Honestly is it so hard to act like a man who likes to drink beer, fuck women in the ass and hail the confederate flag???

P-U-S-S-I-E-S.

Old Style, circa '88-'89. I saw them on WGN during a basketball game one night.

Dont you give shit for Al being a junkie? Phil’s body is composed of 76% heroin.
