Has to be Bunnymen. A stately record. The other two are decent second division efforts.

[naughty boy]

'King in a Catholic Style' was the killer China Crisis song. I don't think anyone else here has ever even mentioned it. It's a fucking gem. And one of the best guitar solos ever ever.

From that lot, I'll take the Bunnymen song. It's pretty good.

...you noticed it too? Well done

They were hardly classed as cool (were they)?

...both far bigger hits (for what that's worth)

I don't think so, no. Maybe a little bit - like fellow Scousers It's Immaterial and Black. Sort of 'mature pop', maybe. But better than that sounds!

I think it's one of those written solos (rather than one that was improvised) but you can almost picture the fucker sitting back looking smug as fuck once he'd played it. Brilliant.

Starts at 1:38.

[Canis lupus]

...all part of the standard Steely Dan package (no)?

You think Peter Gabriel dug the video?

[naughty boy]

Yeah - didn't Fagen produce it or something? He did a good job with Rosie Vela too!!

Peter Gabriel should dig nothing but his own grave

Stop it now. He's a good guy - FAR from the worst - and he was very talented indeed.
But he obviously nicked a few ideas from that there video

Criminally underrated poet.

"African And White" is their finest moment, actually.

Of the three songs above....I'd have to go with the China Crisis track. The Colourfield song is appallingly bland crap (they did much better) and I've never understood the fascination with E&TB.

[jimboo]

Christian is their finest moment, actually.

[Ranking Ted]

I voted Dancing Horses but KIACS by China Crisis is a belter, got that Dan thing all over it.

[soundchaser]

I like all three, but I'll go with China Crisis, as Flaunt The Imperfection is one of my favourite albums of the 80s.

Of course, the Steely Dan connection helped a lot .

[Robert]

The bunnymen for me. But you could have put up another 100 orso songs and I would still have chosen that one.

knackers me iPhones been hacked somehow

"Dancing Horses" is one of my favorite 80's singles.
