Difficult question. I like Occupy Your Mind, In Private and Don´t Drop Bombs.

i'ver always thought that the version of tonight is forever recorded by liza was simply perfect; although written and recorded by them first, they version they produced for her was breathtaking.

Don't drop bombs. Unless they wrote 'Getting away with it', I likes that one

'If there was love' is my 2nd favourite thing (after being boring) they have done, JJ Belle on guitar, Courtney Pine on tenor sax, and Liza talking Shakespeare's sonnet. Phew, its just perfect.

- So sorry, I said
- The crying game
Neil Tennant has a great voice, Chris Lowe has great silence.

That's actually a PSB-produced cover of an ancient Dave Barry song.

"If there was love" is just stunning. Other favorites include "I'm not scared", "Nothing has been proved", and "Daydreaming".
"Unprofessional? Us? Sir. Might I with due respect remind you that Mister Vandemar and myself burned down the City of Troy? We brought the Black Plague to Flanders. We have assassinated a dozen kings, five popes, half a hundred heroes and two accredited gods. Our last commission before this was the torturing to death of an entire monastery in sixteenth century Tuscany. We are utterly professional." - Mr Croup

For me is "Don't Drop Bombs". I've always loved it and hope someday I will get to hear a demo with Neil's vocals
