Rhodesia hands down. everything about that song is just too perfect and beautiful for words. love it.

this is one i cant decide between. its the album that made me fall in love with japan and although i do prefer some songs over others - there's no way i can chose my favourite because it changes all the time. Adolescetn Sex is an amazing song though

This was a hard decision....but i went for Fall In Love With Me - simple because of Davids voice in this song, which is just perfection. I could have chosen all of the songs for all different reasons but when david sings 'oh my..' it always makes me smile

I went for Visions Of China because every time i listen to it, no matter what mood im in or anything, it always blows me away and is just the most perfect song i could ever listen to. ALthough i do love Ghosts but for other reasons.

Sylvia Plath - The Bell Jar. Its quickly becoming one of my favourite ever books.

Im not actually listening to anything right this minute, but I've got 'The Judgement is the Mirror' permanently on the brain at the moment...

ooh i love that song 8) and i once made a top with those words on too - my friends thought i was strange :roll:

Hehe nice one...do you have a photo of it ...

well, he might not have been in playgirl, i dont really know if that's true but that photo could have been

Well, the very first picture I ever saw of David has to be that one he posed for in Playgirl (or Playboy... *hides*) back in 1980...


David in Playgirl?? :shock: :shock: :shock:
I never seen. Can you post it??

i like your motto it is VERY true

it is definitely worth buying if you have that money spare.

mmm..the GTP cover has always been one of my favourite photos of him...all that make up
the one i remember seeing when i was first introduced to them was the one i posted above, the 1978 one and then i saw the early videos and that was it

I think i'd have to go for 1979. Those pictures are the ones i first saw of the whole band and what really drew me into them. I love his hair around that era and his clothes are fantastic...but then, i always love his hair and his clothes are always fantastic

Yes i know this could be the most difficult question that you could ever answer but which David era is your favourite (the japan looks only)?

examples....

you're the first person to get Steve above your avatar!!! well done you

OK, stupid person here, what's this all about then?

you choose the film you prefer from the 2 that the person above you posted (in this case, Blue Velvet or Merry Christmas....) and then you put that against another film of your choice and then the next person to reply chooses between those ones ...
