i wanted to use the original artwork for this poll, plus i didn’t have time to do 70 images. Only problem there is i started to run out of things for Love and Rockets. Bauhaus stuff is really tough to find on-line, they don’t even have their own website.

at long last, results for the songs.

Bee OK, Wednesday, 30 March 2016 23:49 (eight years ago) link

Also surprised at Sky beating Mask. But when I look at the track listing it probably has more songs on it that I love.
In the Flat Field was my number one. (x-post)

Great song! A great opener for Express and for this poll. Love all the distortion in the second part.

Love Hysteria beating Deep is surprising.

I adore Love Hysteria! For me, it's by far his most memorable solo collection of songs. The lyrics are often a perfect combination of ridiculous and moving - which I love so much in Peter Murphy's best songs - as exemplified by Socrates the Python. Time Has Got Nothing To Do With It is fantastic. In contrast, I find Deep to be utterly unmemorable. Cuts You Up was a pretty big hit, and I cannot remember how it goes. I will listen to Deep again though, as I haven't heard it in at least 20 years.

that is the Spotify link.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 00:19 (eight years ago) link

pop and seventh dream two of my favorite albums ever and i'm really glad that i bought the u.k. albums when they came out because they totally fucked with them for the u.s. pressings. ruined two perfect albums.

scott seward, Thursday, 31 March 2016 00:24 (eight years ago) link

u referring to mastering quality, track substitutions, or both?

the 'major tom guy' (sleeve), Thursday, 31 March 2016 00:25 (eight years ago) link

switching stuff around. adding stuff that wasn't on the original album. adding singles.

scott seward, Thursday, 31 March 2016 00:31 (eight years ago) link

they have god and mr. smith instead of if there's a heaven above on the u.s. version. lunacy!

scott seward, Thursday, 31 March 2016 00:33 (eight years ago) link

one of the best album openers ever. the feel of both albums completely different. and pop with go and twist on it is just not pop! a lysergic masterpiece for pete's sake.

scott seward, Thursday, 31 March 2016 00:35 (eight years ago) link

my kinda poll though. three of my favorite bands. and also there is peter murphy. for his fans.

scott seward, Thursday, 31 March 2016 00:41 (eight years ago) link

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

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 00:47 (eight years ago) link

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 (eight years ago) link

always thought of "Youth" as their Christian song.

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

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

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

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 (eight years ago) link

i think it was number 25.

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

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 (eight years ago) link

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

LeRooLeRoo, Thursday, 31 March 2016 01:26 (eight years ago) link

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 (eight years ago) link

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 (eight years ago) link

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 (eight years ago) link

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 (eight years ago) link

oh hell yeah

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

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

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

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 (eight years ago) link

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

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

How many are you doing tonight ?

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

just two more.

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

i will get a much earlier start tomorrow.

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

i think i voted for this, great song.

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

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

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

that funny

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

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 (eight years ago) link

another one i voted for.

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

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

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

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