Prefab Sprout - Swoon poll

Some real nice playing on here too, eg the drum triplets on Technique

I voted for Ghost Town Blues but I'm very happy to see Technique win. Brilliant song.

Yeah 'Technique' is wonderful...mind you so is the whole album...reminded of the little review on inner album sleeve that talks about how the reviewer should be going to bed but she wants to listen to the album one more time...

playing for blood...as grandmasters should

er, uh, otm

"playing for blood, as grandmasters should"

Great line

been listening to this a crazy amount recently and think it's now my favourite prefab sprout album (previously would have said steve mcqueen).

i didn't vote in this poll, think i would have voted for cue fanfare or elegance.

Either ILM doesn't understand Prefab Sprout, or I don't. In shock they stare and cue fanfare!

I am very partial to any song that references Chess, especially as great a moment as the World Chess Championship 1972.

Technique is a great song, always have to move beyond the accent in the verses though, sounds like a different singer.

The Sprouts were incredibly lucky to hook up with Thomas Dolby.

However the votes went, it would never be right. What’s I Never Play Basketball Now doing with zero? The in tray and the out tray, ‘All of it good and strong, and all of it gone’…
