VHM Todd, I don't know how anyone can not like "Bang on the Drum".
I manage, somehow. :wink:
I won't get to hear any replays but a BOS vote to "Only You," which I'd love for Vince Clarke to revive with Andy Bell singing the lead.
I always thought it was funny that Clarke teamed up with Bell -- when Erasure first appeared I thought Bell sounded a bit like Moyet... and when I first heard Yaz(oo), I thought Moyet was a guy.
You've heard the a capella version of "Only You" by the Flying Picketts, yes?
Oh, the vocal resemblance between Madames Moyet and Bell is remarkable. Alas, I don't know the cover of which you speak.
Meantime, co-BOS to "Jokerman," which I'd never heard until 1994 and remains a sledgehammer of that summer.
