Tough. Initially my favourite was Footsteps, then for a while it was Boy Strange. These days I think I tend to prefer Drunk. I also really like Happiness Is An Option. Those would be the top 4, so something like this:

1. Drunk
2. Footsteps
3. Happiness Is An Option
4. Boy Strange

Those four are about even, then there's a bit of a gap down to the next groups of songs:

5. For Your Own Good
6. I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more
7. New York city boy
8. Vampires
9. In Denial
10. Radiophonic

And a HUGE gap down to the last one:

11. The Only One

1. For your own good.
2. I don't know...
3. The only one.

Pretty hard to chose though. Still one of my top 3 PSB albums.

Closer To Heaven appears to be missing from your list.

My copy of Nightlife has *12* songs. It features a track called Closer To Heaven :wink:


My Top 3:
1: For Your Own Good
2: Happiness Is An Option
3: You Only Tell Me You Love Me When You're Drunk (closely followed by Boy Strange)

but my *real* number 1 track from that era is the unreleased For All Of Us. I hope it will be on Nightlife Further Listening.

Damn. Well I'd place it above In Denial on the list, I guess.

I'm impressed how many has mentioned Footsteps, I used to be one of the only ones loving it on the (Dot) forum back in 1999.

If produced like in the musical - definitely. Not as the Nightlfe version, though.
