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?

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 18:14 (ten years ago)

that worked, weird.

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

I have to say TOO LOW for "A Strange Kind Of Love". Understated and gorgeous.

LeRooLeRoo, Thursday, 31 March 2016 18:21 (ten years ago)

Seems like all the songs from Earth Sun Moon are going to place.

LeRooLeRoo, Thursday, 31 March 2016 18:26 (ten years ago)

it sure does seem like every song from Earth Sun Moon is going to make this poll. not going to confirm or deny.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 18:35 (ten years ago)

lol

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 18:35 (ten years ago)

Tracks that appeared on the original UK release were replaced and re-arranged for the US and Canadian market. The album was also renamed, it was Pop but the US release is called The Album Pop. "The Never Never (Is Forever)", "Performance" and "Slender Fungus" were removed and replace with the singles "Twist", "Go!" and "Christian Says".

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 18:42 (ten years ago)

"Christian Says" was one of my last cuts from my ballot.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 18:49 (ten years ago)

Good to see all the Earth Sun Moon love. It's easily my favorite of the Bauhaus related albums.

Austin, Thursday, 31 March 2016 18:50 (ten years ago)

The cover of the album features a detail from Maxfield Parrish's seminal painting Daybreak.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 19:01 (ten years ago)

I would have had a ballot very heavy on Mask, The Sky's Gone Out and Earth Sun Moon

My #1 song would likely have been "1. David Jay 2. Peter Murphy 3. Kevin Haskins 4. Daniel Ash"

i like to trump and i am crazy (DJP), Thursday, 31 March 2016 19:01 (ten years ago)

also I am enjoying Ned's quotes all over the Wikipedia entries for these albums

i like to trump and i am crazy (DJP), Thursday, 31 March 2016 19:02 (ten years ago)

they are great, i was going to add a few of them to the albums roll-out but as you can see didn't end up doing that.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 19:10 (ten years ago)

I remember hearing the Dali's Car album for the first time about fifteen years ago and thinking, "Hey, this isn't nearly as bad as people told me it would be!"

Revisiting it for this poll was a chore, quite frankly, and I now understand where all the hate came from.

Austin, Thursday, 31 March 2016 19:16 (ten years ago)

i don't know it at all.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 19:24 (ten years ago)

my favorite cover for Tones on Tail, part of the reason i used original artwork.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 19:25 (ten years ago)

i voted for this song, love when the song opens up and the sky's falling.
