"Everything Counts" might be the most consistently overrated DM single, although that doesn't mean it still isn't great.

I know what two of the top three will be, but blanking on the third.

how much airplay did "But Not Tonight" get in '86? To me it sounds like the crucial link between the sound they're abandoning and what awaited them in the MFTM period.

Wait, awkward lyrics have been mentioned thus far but not "as long as he remembers who's wearing the trousers"?
I wish I had got around to voting in this though.

Most disappointed in Insight not placing - I guess it was a long shot. Ok the 'spirit of love' chorus is kinda balls but vocally it's one of their best imo. A Gahan/Gore duet (after the first verse), on headphones it's just immense, especially the moment at 2:25 when Gore appears up close and personal in the right channel.

Although I seem to recall Counterfit (and Counterfit ^2?) votes were allowed which would have changed that as well.
