A song for Europe? I'm going for John Foxx, myself.

I'll go w/John Foxx as well. That's a fucking great album, though I played it to death when it came out.

Don't forget "European Son" - no matter, my vote goes to T. Dolby

there's a fine top of the pops performance of europe after the rain featuring the mighty odd eddie and sunshine .
but my vote would go to mr. dolby.

Wait, what's "European Female"? (I'd have to go Kraftwerk but John Foxx is pretty close.)

possibly one of the weakest stranglers singles ever.

― frenchbloke (frenchbloke), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

oooh John Foxx vs Kraftwerk. I'm with Ned: a close one. I'll vote for Kraftwerk and regret it in the morning.

Make mine Dolby. Never heard "European Female"; quite enjoy the other two.

Yeah, I'll admit I only added the Stranglers because I needed another other early 80s single with 'Europe' in the title. I love the era's fascination with the perceived hauteur and glamour of the Continent. Knowingly revived by Neil Hannon.

(OK, Kraftwerk were actually from the continent and it came out in 1977...)
