'Whip It'. If it had been a different JD song, then probably JD. I still love 'Love Will Tear Us Apart', but not as much as 'Whip It'.

Pop Muzik over Whip It

My heart says Ian Dury so I'm going with that.

I still can't believe "Pop Musik" went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It seems so out there and ahead of its time. Does anybody know if the album New York • London • Paris • Munich is worth hearing ?

i want to take a break from Steel Dan and maybe listen to this, hope i can find most of this on Spotify.

Here is where I confess that I've never cared for that Ian Dury track. In fact, just listened to it again now to check and still, nope.
Gonna be a coin toss between Joy Division and Split Enz for me, though the Human Sexual Response track is probably the hidden gem of this mix.

Yeah, I really wish there was a CD reissue of HSR's "In A Roman Mood". Land of the glass pine cones!!

I'm voting "Turning Japanese." I would've voted for "Pop Muzik," but "New York, London, Paris, Munich" is one of the worst setup-a-rhyme lines of all time.

Man I love Vienna (this means nothing to me!) but the idea of voting for anything but BarneyWaves is kinda absurd, so Joy Division.
