Don't get me wrong; there's no denying their talent, but which one do you prefer? Which one do 'I prefer'? Nice suggestion there buddy! Lemme see if I 'flashback' to their albums, I can think of a few that gems that would 'grace' us with their presence without any 'bad blood' being brought up. We wouldn't want any 'thieves' to run off with this contest. Nah I'm just messing around, I'd pick Skinny Puppy.

I got into Ministry first just because I heard about them a lot earlier, but once I heard Skinny Puppy, they sounded so much more unique and better. They really emphasize the industrial element much more than Ministry, who lately doesn't even seem to show it whatsoever. On the other hand, Ministry made Land of Rape And Honey. Tough call...

The first time I heard industrial music was Stigmata. I must have replayed it 10 times! It was liberating. Ministry is no slouch in the "time to rock out angrily" dept. ICYDFLSU(Live), N.W.O., the land of R+H, The mind is a terrible thing to taste are all amazing. I love their sound, and would pick them to stack wood or race cars or fight corporations from screwing everyone over in a heartbeat. I just seem to relate more often to SP in general, that's why they won this "choose the form of the destructor" contest in my vote.

I'm still not convinced Al Jourgensen isn't some hellish muppet they wheel on stage every once in a while to keep us buying "best of" albums.

patrick_nicholas member Former New Yorker Joined: 05/06/09 Location: Blackwater Park Posts: 43,564	I see that I am still a minority on this site. I'm still going with Ministry, because I am more of a metalhead than an industrial fan, and also because I was attracted to Ministry by Al's straight-forward anti-Bush lyrics and the riffs that went with them on more recent material (Gateway song: "No W" off of the Rock Against Bush compilation). Also really enjoyed the late 80s/early 90s stuff. This may sound embarrassing as part of the NIN community, but although I heard a few Skinny Puppy songs and liked them (specifically the song "Pro-Test" ), I never really got around to checking out more of their stuff and listening to full albums. I heard a couple other songs I don't remember, but didn't really do anywhere near as much for me as Ministry.

GREATDESTROYER1 member Joined: 02/05/12 Location: The Void of Space Posts: 66	hmmmm,id say Skinny Puppy, even tho im obviously a Huge Al Jourgensen fan. lets be honest Skinny Puppy are the band every indsutrial artist want to be, even Uncle Al gets a boner over them. in all honesty im not to big on With Sympathy, Last Sucker (which i felt like after buying that poor excuse for a record) or a few songs on Grande Blood, and im sure Relapse will be more of the same. Skinny Puppy on the other hand, have always made grade A albums, and have done great tours, my two favorites of having the pleasure of attending being the Last Rights tour and the 04-05 tour for Greater Wrong of The Right Edited 1 time(s).

I think I'd still pick ministry because they seem to have more heavy/metal stuff. I really like twitch, though, and I can't find it in stores--only iTunes...
