What could you have against Do U Lie? It's such a sweet little thing...

booyah said:

Buncha dumbasses.

FunkMistress said:

Tell me about it.

Since this thread is done by release date, The Black Album tracks (minus When 2 R In Love) would appear in 1994 rather than 1987. I guess this is the best way, but I'm still not 100% sure - what does everyone else think?

I'd rather hear people's views now rather than complaints when the 1987 rounds begin...

1985
Condition Of The Heart


1986
Under The Cherry Moon


Hard choice. I looked at what song gave me the least pleasure.
1999 is great. Fun. But not as iconic as many think. I could not vote off another.
Always disliked Lonely Christmas. Silly lyrics. Irritating melody.
Condition is such LaDiDaDi I always am surprised that people like it at all.
And Cherry Moon. It's too dramatic.
