01. Please: "I Want A Lover" - nuff said.
02. Disco: "Zazou, comment allez vous?"
03. Actually: "Rent" - it must be obvious.
04. Introspective: Close call between "Domino Dancing" and Always on my mind. Would say the former atm.
05. Behaviour: still hooked with "This Must Be The Place". Now I understand why 'some' people kept raving 'bout this one.
06. Very: "Different Point Of View" by a *very* close margin.
07. Relentless: "One Thing Leads To Another" - OH YEAH!
08. Disco 2: Oh god, pass...
09. Alternative: "That's My Impression". But by jove there are *so* many contenders.
10. Bilingual: "To Step Aside" - a constant.
11. Nightlife: "CLOSER TO HEAVEN" - should bloody well have been released as a single.
12. Release: Probably "Home & Dry" - if only for the mice.
13. Disco 3: "Try It" atm.
14. PopArt: "Flamboyant" - surprisingly enough.

Eh.... i think you mean our perception of the songs right?...
yea, after another year, we'll STILL be discussing what our fav songs were, and i'll bet that 90% of us would've changed our opinions....
I would say it does. last year the Hacienda mix of violence and Sasha mix of West End girls were my faves but things change with changes in feelings and experiences
It's gonna be alright.

Thank You, Goodnight

01. Please: "Two Divided by Zero" - Like a Bond movie theme- much better than silly "Die another day", "Living Daylights" or that rubbish by Sherly Crow or whatever is.
02. Disco: "Suburbia Full Horror"- All Suburbia versions are fantastic
03. Actually: "It couldn't Happen Here and King's Cross" - Hell, entire Actually!
04. Introspective: Close call between "LTOD" and "I'm not scared"
05. Behaviour: "This Must Be The Place". a masterpiece which turns out to be more striking with the "Performance" show
06. Very: "Can You Forgive Her/ Young Offender" Disillusioned, gritty urban sounds
07. Relentless: "One Thing Leads To Another" -ingenious!
08. Disco 2: Absolutely Fabulous (but really fabulous)
09. Alternative: "Too Many People"
10. Bilingual: "To Step Aside and Discoteca" - Chill me to the bone!
11. Nightlife: "Radiophonic"- Salute to Kraftwerk!
12. Release: "Love Is a Catastrophy" - No one whines like and better than Neil!
13. Disco 3: "Here"-proof that they should remix their own songs
14. PopArt: Mighty and Almighty "Always on My Mind" (any list without it goes nowhere)
The CELL by Stephen King instantly hit number 1 in New York Times Bookseller Lists selling well over 200 thousand copies in three weeks. This affirms my opinion: People really need an occassional good horror read...
