    Longtime fan.

    Best music to be found on first three albums:

    Red Roses for Me

    Rum Sodomy & the Lash

    If I Should Fall from Grace with God

    and the EP

    Poguetry in motion.

    Rainy Night in Soho is my favourite song - Theres at least two versions of this doing the rounds but the one on the EP is the best IMO.

    Yeah, I'd agree that is great, I also like White City and FONY.
    TY.

    Good post you summed up my thoughts exactly

    also let me add "Summer in Siam" and a few of the tracks of the under-rated "Peace and Love"

    Peace and Love is a very good album - under-rated as you say. They just produced so much good stuff during this time that some of it slipped through the cracks. To me they defined the 80's along with REM and the Smiths.
