:lol: I'd have liked to have seen "Too many people" released as a single. Too many excellent choices though.

Let's put 'Electricity' and 'Metamorphosis'
instead of 'The Survivors' and 'It Always'!
Lets not. Electricity is pants. It Always Comes As A Surprise is IMO their best song.
Remind me what IMO is? :doh:
IMO = In My Opinion

I don't see the point of not counting their singles; they wouldn't be successful at all without West End girls Always on my mind It's a sin GW etc., let alone have made a second, third or fourth album without West End girls. I think, like said above, they did a good job until Bilingual. Please was fine, Actually was perfect, Introspective was as good as they could do with 6 tracks(with one already released as a single and one already released as a single by someone else), Behaviour was exactly what I would have done(despite limited success), and with Very all I'd change is Liberation to The Theatre and Yesterday, when I was mad to Dreaming of the Queen(although honestly I don't think it would have made much difference commercially). Bilingual I'd have started with Se A Vida E, THEN Before, for even more commercial appeal, then It always comes as a surprise and finish with Discoteca, although personally I couldn't decide between the album version and the single version they made with the 'one day we'll be free' coda. Nightlife would be For Your Own Good, New York City Boy, and In Denial. Release; Birthday Boy, The Samurai in Autumn, and E-Mail. For Fundamental, I'd have started with Sodom(but that wasn't allowed), so Fugitive(because any controversy would help them, and it's also a song diehards and I'm sure casual listeners would love), Numb, and Integral. If another one's allowed, perhaps Indefinite Leave To Remain. But who knows, speculation can only go so far, and they're the one's making the songs, so they can do whatever they want with them.
