Good thread idea. Merits some serious attention. Might take a while (& a decent cup of Hendricks, tonic and cucumber)

Hi, As it's ever so quiet on here I wondered what other members of the forum's top 20 (less if you like), favourite tracks by Bryan between 1986 (Is Your Love Strong Enough) up to & including the Olympia album in 2011. Bryan's (inc. Roxy) most productive and commercially successful period was between 1972 up to & including Boys & Girls in 1985. Thereafter sales of new material dropped off, and he was never to trouble the top ten singles chart in the UK again. Personally my favourite period was 1972-1985 and I would struggle to find more than 3 tracks good enough to make a best of album in the years following. Let's see your choices - I know some on here love the Mamouna album, and all or parts of Frantic - 'I Thought' being a favourite of many. So your top twenty favourite Ferry songs from 1986 onwards are? |

Unfortunately most of any top 10 in the period would be mostly covers. Certainly not his best period for original material. In no particular order :- Spell on You It's All Over Now Baby Blue Cruel and most of Dylanesque Song to a Siren. You Can Dance is good musically but a poor vocal. |

Reason or Rhyme Don`t want to know A fool for love Bête noir The only face Chain reaction The name of the game I thought Alphaville New town San Simeon Day for Night Limbo Mamouna Which way to turn Nobody loves me Goddess of love Kiss & Tell Your painted smile Hiroshima... For me, "Mamouna" is the heart of BF:s music. But it´s fairly amazing that he has entertained us for many decades with music ranging from pop, rock, soul and jazz. !Viva Bryan! |

I pretty much agree with all the sentiments. However, I would put most of the tracks from the alphaville sessions (in that unreleased form) in the top 20. Love War...wonderful |
