Best Single

ronthecabbie · Diamond Smiles

Best Single

daggerrat · Never In A Million Years

Mary for me too followed by No1, Eva Braun non single. No need for a spliff any body would think its your birthday

suss · In the Long Grass

Still Rat Trap for me, with Eva Braun not only best non single but to me the best thing they ever did.

You can see others' singles faves at http://boomtownrats.activeboard.com/t46593552/rank-the-singles/ but some may have changed their mind over time I guess?

Mark L · Loudmouth

Someone's Looking At You for best single

Real Different best b side

Best album track:

Joey from album 1

Me and Howard Hughes from album 2

Wind Chill Factor (Minus 0) from album 3

Go Man Go from album 4

He watches it All from album 5

Hard Times from album 6

Joey wins by a whisker, but if that's not allowed, Me and Howard Hughes next.

Tango · In the Long Grass

Boringly enough, Rat Trap best single.
Non-single a three way split between When The Night Comes/Howard Hughes/Island

noelindublin · Loudmouth

Best single, well my fave anyway is Never In a Million Years.

QED Was your number 6 in 2011 Noel, but that said you did have 6 singles ranking 10 out of 10! Edited to add you did say then there was no 'ranking' of top 6.

Suspect you might be in a minority of one there though.

Jules · The biggest Geldof fan in the world, bar none!

My faves are Dave, No 1 and I can make it. Not far behind the rest of the first 2 albums!

junkyard_smile · The Elephant's Graveyard

Best single Rat Trap

Best non single Joey by a country mile - but if that's excluded When the Night Comes closely followed by I Can Make It

daggerrat · Never In A Million Years

How strange we are so different with our choices, so varied

Lee · She's So Modern

Rat Trap/Eva Braun

Mike menzies · V Deep

My fave single is dave and fave b side is no hiding place this should've been aside in my opinion and not charmed lives

Mark L · Loudmouth

What's your favourite album (non single) track, Mike?

manatthetop · In the Long Grass

Rat Trap hands down. Non singles Hard Times, Me and Howard Hughes

Mike menzies · V Deep

My fave album track is lucky sos I took so long been away mon to fri at lowestoft (pontins no internet there ) but back now

manatthetop · In the Long Grass

I think the USA Lucky is much better But I do like both Same as Drag me down think USA is much better

Mark L · Loudmouth

Love the US mix of DMD too. Just need to figure out some of the lyrics.

Mike menzies · V Deep

Just listened to ratlife ep it ain't that bad actually I have heard worse on radio1 and 2 etc. so we need some new rats material though but the old stuff is still classic and as fresh now as in the 70s I play them all the while more than any other artists and always will

Mark L · Loudmouth

Back to Boomtown is a good track with more thought going into the lyrics than the other tracks and some nice sax work, drumming and emotion in the singing.
