Went for Love Is A Sign, just edging out Streets Of Your Town and Devil's Eye.

"Love Is a Sign" for me, though the whole albums slays.

I hate titles of polls like this one -- makes it near impossible to find the poll in search, once it gets buried.

My fave is "Love Goes On!" because Grant is trying to get through what's happening in the happiest way possible.

― cutty, Sunday, 9 August 2009 01:58 (sixteen years ago)

streets of your town, for sure.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I was about to decry "Streets Of Your Town" not winning but I see it won the last time this was polled. Like much of this period, these songs are better live.

"I'm Allright" is marvelous -- it's the oboe solo that seals it.

I actually got to see them live during this tour!! One of the very few "haha! I was there" experiences I can lord over music geeks. Magical!

― Kevin John Bozelka, Tuesday, 11 August 2009 21:52 (sixteen years ago)

During the, er, problematic John Willsteed days!

― Anatomy of a Morbius (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 11 August 2009 22:01 (sixteen years ago)

live recordings from that tour sure are edgier than the album! must be Lindy's drumming there -- kinda all over the place, but still great.

― tylerw, Tuesday, 11 August 2009 22:02 (sixteen years ago)

willsteed always seems to get a bad rap

― badpowderfinger (electricsound), Tuesday, 11 August 2009 23:42 (sixteen years ago)

although tbf he occasionally brings it on himself

― badpowderfinger (electricsound), Tuesday, 11 August 2009 23:42 (sixteen years ago)

I have nothing but praise for his contributions, especially the flamenco guitar.
