13-5 to the old one. The oldies seem better because there has been so
much time to let them grow on you. For example, yesterday I realised I like Heart (no doubt the PopArt DVD has something to do with it)!

Is this now going to develop into a K.O. cup then (remember Kirk Mack's a year or 2 back?)

Wouldn't it be great if the Boys voted for this themselves..maybe if we all post it on the official site at the start of next month at least one of them will get answered.

01 West End Girls vs Can You Forgive Her
Easily Can You forgive Her?
02 Love Comes Quickly vs Go West
Very easily Go West.
03 Opportunities vs I Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind Of Thing
Very easily Opportunities
04 Suburbia vs Liberation
Obviously Suburbia
05 It's A Sin vs Yesterday When I Was Mad
Very obviously It's a Sin
06 What Have I Done To Deserve This vs Paninaro 95
Not an easy choice...I've always thought WHIDTD is a gem but Paninaro '95 is really striking and at the moment I can't get enough of it so Paninaro
07 Rent vs Before
Disinterested to both but Rent seems to rule over the other one if only in terms of striking lyrics.
08 Always On My Mind vs Se A Vida E
Ha ha ha! The other is so pathetic: VERY EASILY Always on my Mind
09 Heart vs Single-Bilingual
Of course Heart; but the other is not bad as much as some think.
10 Domino Dancing vs A Red Letter Day
Tough question; Domino dancing is good but after a while it becomes annoying; on the other hand A red letter day is a pure PSB gem; but anyway Domino dancing has still those elements that make PSB the real pop purveyors. So Domino dancing
11 Left To My Own Devices vs Somewhere
No comparison; Somewhere simplyi pales against Left to my own devices
12 It's Alright vs I Don't Know What You Want But I Can't Give It Any More
Very very though for me; but it in the end it is It's Alright (See Domino dancing vs A red letter day)
13 So Hard vs New York City Boy
No need to compare; New York city boy should be erased from our minds.
14 Being Boring vs You Only Tell Me You Love Me When You're Drunk
Disinterested to both but Being Boring (See Domino dancing vs A red letter day)
15 Where The Streets Have No Name/...Seriously vs Home And Dry
An easy win Where the streets have no name (I can't take my eyes off you)
16 Jealousy vs I Get Along
Contrary to general trend, I Get Along wins by a mile;
17 DJ Culture vs Miracles
Though I love DJ Culture, it is not an opponent to Miracles
18 Was It Worth It vs Flamboyant[/quote]
I hate Was it worth it? and love Flamboyant. So guess which one.
Well 12-6 not as bad as I feared at the very beginning. But the real question is the winners from Discography era are REAL winners while most of second era are eh-eh/ so-so winners.
And isn't it a little bit disturbing that we, the die-hard fans find the Discography era much much better than the second half? So why do we
always keep asking to ourselvels why the Boys are not as big as once they were?
