I messed up the artwork, that has nothing to do with Lazy. It is pretty cool however.

i also had to fix Spotify. for some reason the first version of Express has messed up songs.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 00:57 (ten years ago)

always thought of "Youth" as their Christian song.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 01:04 (ten years ago)

or maybe i'm just thinking about the God Bless part of it.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 01:06 (ten years ago)

i love the way he sings this song. was obsessed with this song at the time. i did vote for it.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 01:12 (ten years ago)

i think it was number 25.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 01:13 (ten years ago)

this was my favorite song as a goth teen. I don't care for the radio edit though!

ejemplo (crüt), Thursday, 31 March 2016 01:14 (ten years ago)

I voted for this too. I like the way he sings winnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd.

i was really thinking about doing only a Top 35 as i was thinking songs needed triple digits in points to make the run down. when i saw "Cuts You Up" at 37 and below 100 points i then felt it was OK to keep it at a Top 40. after all there were 84 songs that got votes.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 01:34 (ten years ago)

i did link the video in the voting thread but in the end it did not make my ballot.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 01:41 (ten years ago)

i'm going to drop naming the band in the results, you will know from knowledge, artwork or name of the album.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 02:10 (ten years ago)

the whole Jazz Butcher angle is interesting, glad they were included in voting. it was only fair. will talk about this more after this part of the poll is finished.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 02:17 (ten years ago)

oh hell yeah

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 02:20 (ten years ago)

Glad to discover some Jazz Butcher. I never got around to after all these years.

LeRooLeRoo, Thursday, 31 March 2016 02:28 (ten years ago)

i had to check my ballot to make sure i voted for it, i did. felt like i could vote for every song on this album.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 02:37 (ten years ago)

right after i say that, i list the artist. need to wrap this up soon...

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 02:49 (ten years ago)

How many are you doing tonight ?

LeRooLeRoo, Thursday, 31 March 2016 02:55 (ten years ago)

just two more.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 03:00 (ten years ago)

i will get a much earlier start tomorrow.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 03:01 (ten years ago)

i think i voted for this, great song.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 03:04 (ten years ago)

I did. Was always fun to dance to at the alternative/goth night.

LeRooLeRoo, Thursday, 31 March 2016 03:08 (ten years ago)

that funny

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 03:12 (ten years ago)

if i remember correctly, i was going through a break up and this became a theme song. one of those perfect timing songs.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 03:13 (ten years ago)

another one i voted for.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 03:26 (ten years ago)

that is it for tonight, i will get a much earlier start tomorrow.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 03:29 (ten years ago)

it's 8:30 here, so really too late to be doing this type of stuff.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 03:30 (ten years ago)

i like how this song just takes off and goes in completely different direction. then it acts like that never happens and switches back again.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 03:33 (ten years ago)

It is a great song. Wasn't on my ballot, but I rediscovered it while listening to ESM again for this poll.
Nice results so far. No Tones On Tail tracks yet though!

LeRooLeRoo, Thursday, 31 March 2016 04:33 (ten years ago)

i'm up and ready to go.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 17:09 (ten years ago)

today's batch is excellent.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 17:09 (ten years ago)

In his review for Deep, Ned Raggett of Allmusic described "A Strange Kind of Love" as "a striking love song, with acoustic guitar and plaintive Statham keyboards supporting one of Murphy's strongest lyrics and performances." In his separate track review, Raggett also described it as "an understated ballad that finds Murphy at his most personal and affecting, one that contrasts greatly with the equally close but musically surging 'Cuts You Up'" and stated that "Strange Kind of Love" is "perhaps one of Murphy's most affecting overall works in solo or group work either way."

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 17:21 (ten years ago)

i only had room for one Peter Murphy song and my ballot and it has already been posted.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 17:36 (ten years ago)

here is a song i voted for.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 17:41 (ten years ago)

i know they made a faster remix for the single but still preferred the album version of this song. it was such a great song to open up Earth Sun Moon with.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 17:48 (ten years ago)

and now finally

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 18:00 (ten years ago)

damn, didn't re-size that image.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 18:01 (ten years ago)

i think i had more fin re-listening to Tones on Tail then anything else for this poll. i could have voted for so many more songs from them but limited myself a bit.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 18:03 (ten years ago)

and checking my ballot, i didn't vote for this song. now listening to it via the Spotify link i'm wondering why?

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 18:04 (ten years ago)

checking my phone and that didn't work?
