It's A Long Way There (the long version) & Lonesome Loser for me  8)

Good poll!  :)

I picked "Reminiscing" and "Cool Change".

From their 70s period, 'Reminiscing' is my all-time favourite.  Glenn Shorrock is awesome, but ironically, my all-time fave was the 1983 Farnham sung 'We Two'

Their best ever album was 'Time Exposure' from 1981.  I proudly own that on vinyl as well as 'The Night Owls' on 45

Nice little band, popular in Canada over the late 70s and maybe early 80s

I like "Lady" the best. Chose "Reminiscing" as a 2nd choice, it was close between that one and "Lonesome loser"

For some reason, LRB never really caught on in Holland, with only three Top 40 hits in the 1970's and none in the 1980's.

I picked "Help Is On Its Way" and Other: "Forever Blue", a surprise hit for the band in 1995 (#15).

Cool Change & 'other' were my picks, other being "Take It Easy On Me" which surprises me it's not on the list.  it is my all time favorite LRB song

I'm not entirely sure, but I think all songs on the list were 1970's hits for LRB in Australia. "Take It Easy On Me" might not have been.  :-\\

Not a worry Mike  8)  I might do an 80s version as well  ;)

Although "Forever Blue" was a 1990's hit, I stick with my choice. It is highly unlikely you're gonna do a 1990's version too. ;)

Reminiscing and It's A Long Way There (long version)

Cool Change &  Lonesome Loser :)

Reminiscing and Lady

You could always do one ! 8)

I picked Reminiscing and Cool Change but also love Lonesome Loser, Help Is on Its Way, Happy Anniversary, Home on Monday and Curiosity Killed the Cat.

I still go to see Glenn sing a couple of times a year. He can still rock the house with the boys from LRB even tho the stupid law prevents them from ever using that name again (but hey not that we Aussie fans are bitter about that ummmmmm).

He is very chatty on facebook too !

Twelve years ago I saw them in concert at a local club (I'm not sure how many of them were original band members),
and I think I bought their "best of" CD a year or two before that.
The only song on their best of CD I never heard before was "Help Is on Its Way". It has been a favorite since and that includes these too...

Reminiscing
Lady
Lonesome Loser
Cool Change

Help Is On The Way was one of their first hits...I think Curiosity Killed the Cat may have been the first song of LRB that I ever heard (way back in the 70's).
