For those who like their music, what's your favourite song(s) of theirs?

I've always liked Ordinary World, but found myself listening to Come Undone recently.

I'm with you Frank, but recently I was given a copy of the Liberty album on vinyl, and it's a great listen from first to last.

Big Thing is their best album as far as I'm concerned though.

Saw them a few years ago in Antwerp. Still a surprisingly good live band, although the greatest songs still date from the eighties

I have a 12" vinyl demo version of Planet Earth in my record collection, still dig it out now and again and give it a spin.

Save a Prayer was good but Rio was the one where I realised just what a bloody good bass player John Taylor was, the instrumental break in the middle is just sublime. I was in a band professionally at the time and we had an amazing bass player and I asked his opinion of him and he just said 'brilliant'.
What made it worse was he was stunningly good looking as well. Lucky barsteward.

I had a night out in Earls Court back in the early 90s. One of the lads with us was Simon Le Bon. He's a nice bloke. We were sat at the bar in a club chatting and Boy George turned up so I was introduced to him as well as Steve Strange.
Great night out!

Planet Earth, although the uncut version of the video for Girls On Film is rather good too

A guy I knew had a mate who was good friends with SLB, he was even part of the crew when his yatch Drum capsized.
Right time right place really.
Better than those though was a full night at a bar in Puerto Banus. Just me and Phil Lynott. That was heavy!

Phil Lynott's 'go to' man came from Burnley. Lived up Manchester Road way I believe.

Always a girls band when I was at school but revisiting their work shows they could write a tune
