not a fan

Nice!

"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.

perhaps this will jog your memory.

Aw yes, the 3-for-1 sale on hair bleach era.

^^^ otm

Shake The Disease was my number one. I'm relieved to see it there, I was begining to think nobody else liked it.

Can't argue with the top two.

"Policy of Truth" was my #1.

woah

It's fantastic that "Pimpf" is going to place so high, btw.

If my #1 is the poll's #1 then my mind is going to be blown!

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.

Mine:

1 Shake The Disease
2 Useless
3 Dream On
4 New Life
5 I Feel You
6 Personal Jesus
7 Everything Counts
8 Enjoy The Silence
9 Just Can't Get Enough
10 Walking In My Shoes
11 Never Let Me Down Again
12 Sea Of Sin
13 Stripped
14 Freelove
15 Shine
16 The Sinner In Me
17 Only When I Lose Myself
18 Lie To Me
19 See You
20 Get The Balance Right

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.

World in My Eyes
Blue Dress
Waiting For the Night
Shake the Disease
It Doesn't Matter
Here Is the House
Home
Sweetest Perfection
Never Let Me Down Again
Enjoy the Silence
Clean
But Not Tonight
Rush
Insight
See You
Somebody
Stripped
A Question of Time
Blasphemous Rumours
Policy of Truth

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.

Would have voted:

Fly On The Windscreen
I Want You Now
Here Is The House
In Your Room
Halo
To Have And To Hold
Stripped
Black Celebration
Behind The Wheel
It Doesn't Matter Two
A Question Of Lust
Policy Of Truth
Somebody
Happiest Girl
The Things You Said
World In My Eyes
Little 15
Condemnation
Blasphemous Rumours
Everything Counts

Wouldn't have made any difference, I suspect.

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

Just for yucks here's the ballot breakdown by album. RIP Blue Dress ;_;
