>>Alex in NYC's Top Ten Stranglers Tracks (like any of you care):
>>
>>1. "Five Minutes" -- like Dave said, it's the fucking business. Some of 
>>Hugh's finest guitar playing here too. Great video as well, with a 
>>scowling Jet Black playing standing up. If only they stayed on this 
>>course.
>>2. "The Raven" -- Sure, there's some dubious proggery at work here, but 
>>Dave Greenfeld's keyboards really wail on this track. Great mysterious 
>>vibe as well.
>>3. "Straighten Out" -- A close second to "Five Minutes" in the full-on 
>>Punk department.
>>4. "Something Better Change" -- Trying to hard to be anthemic, but it's 
>>still a great track
>>5. "Ice Queen" -- Latter-era, cool Stranglers, but featuring one of the 
>>greatest keyboard hooks of all time.
>>6. "No More Heroes" -- Do I need to explain this one?
>>7. "Just Like Nothing On Earth" (live version from BBC Sessions) - Just a 
>>great, gruff performance with amazing bass batterings by JJ.
>>8. "Peaches" -- see (6)
>>9. "Hanging Around" - because it's simply great.
>>10. "Manna Machine" -- from THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO THE MENINBLACK -- just 
>>a seriously creepy, atmospheric track.
>>
>>11. "Burning Up Time" - Another great punky stomper.
>>12. "Walk on By" -- Keep your Doors comparisons to yourself. Hugh's 
>>restrained, lyrical guitar playing in the mid-section is amazing.
>>
>>
>>Anyway, that's my two cents.
