I have to choose Quiet Life on with especial liking to his voice as it is now on Nine Horses stuff....Jesus Atom and Cell....so good.
I will own up (and make myself unpopular) and say I really didn't like the way he sang on the first two albums. It just sounds so forced and unnatural and only in places does he accomplish it without his voice sounding stretched...sometimes it's capable of irritating me...although admittedly not often for how could David really irritate anyone....
Except and I must say this...
For me the most horrific thing that Japan ever did was the cover of Don't Rain on my Parade - the first time I heard that it had to go off, just because David's voice was grating on me so much...
I have since been able to listen to it and can tolerate it now (it is Japan still after all) but still it feels so forced - stretched strained...
Always gonna be Quiet Life on...apologies for the mini essay as to why...

Where life clings to your hands
Like water and sand
Will loose it's way when you're gone"
