AKA, pretty much the most impossible ILM poll, ever.
I've always seen these guys as the 3 giants of synth-pop, and forced to choose between the 3, I have no idea which would be my favorite. Which would be my desert-island choice, I suppose, of the 3 bands. Just so many great records by all three of em.
And there are a bunch of angles to really explore here: Overall discography, career arc with high and low points, best songwriting team (as all three are partnerships of sorts), best of the 3 lyrically, best singles artist, best full-album artist, and of course, any personal favorites and/or individual memories and associations to various records. I mean, I could really make a case for all 3 bands on *any* of the points just mentioned.
So, which of the 3 is your favorite? Your desert island pick, so to speak?
