anyone voting for "Sexcrime"? I'm surprised it did better than "Here Comes the Rain Again" and "Who's That Girl" or did they chart the previous year (can't check now)..

i gave 'eyes w/o a face' its vote partially on the realization from the last poll that ilm possibly underrates billy idol. plus i fucking love that song and it's seemed kinda odd that something that was such a massive massive hit has faded as much as it has, you hear fucking 'hot in the city' more now.

in my 12th grade english class we were invited to bring examples of comedy and i made everyone watch the video for "eyes without a face." teacher wasn't really down for a conversation about "unintentional" comedy so we just moved on. as i'm pretty sure 100% of the class had no idea about the song or video i like to think i enriched everyone's lives a little.

wow i missed "eyes without a face", that one's almost as evocative as careless whisper" as far as blissful toddler prememories. les yeux sans visaaaaage... the instrumental with the synth pitching down is exquisite, brings to mind "drive" and "take my breath away" in terms of awesome huge over the top robot pop.

I can hear Keith Forsey testing his synth balladry on "Eyes Without a Face" and P-Furs' "The Ghost in You."

I am the one vote for (do they know it's) dick, which I genuinely love. heh.surprised the ghost in you wasn't top 3, much less 0 votes.

disappointed 'the ghost in you' didn't get a vote
xp
tom rave for frankie so there's official popist love there but in general fgth, or at least that amazing initial run of 'relax'->'two tribes'->'the power of love', is somehow an afterthought now. i don't know how. i like 'in a big country' just fine but that winning the previous poll and 'relax' getting shutout here is rewarding the wrong kind of grandiosity imo.

"Two Tribes" in its various mixes excites me more than "Relax." I dunno if it's better but it's not cursed by overplay.
