'Love On Your Side' gets the nod from me...although 'King For A Day' and 'You Take Me Up' still retain a lot of appeal...

"Doctor Doctor" - Holy Shnikees!! :o I really like all the tunes listed almost equally as much and quite a lot. The Thompson Twins is one of my all-time fave groups. I had a hard time picking one as a fave above the rest.

The Gap may be my favorite TT song, but Side Kicks is definitely my favorite TT album. Love on Your Side, Lies,Love Lies Bleeding...golden!

"Hold Me Now", "Lay Your Hands On Me", "Doctor Doctor", "Lies" and "King For A Day."

As for "Lay Your Hands On Me", there are a couple known versions of that, but the one I like the best is the one where the chrous isn't all 'pumped up'; i.e., the "oh lay your hands..." part sounds smoother.

It sounds something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WV9gkObfPY4 but this mix is longer.

So many great songs, but my vote goes to "If You Were Here", because it's used in the wonderful ending to my favorite movie of all time, Sixteen Candles! :)

The Twins had a thing for different mixes...the LP version would sound nothing like the 7" version, which would sound nothing like the 12" version, which would sound nothing like the video mix...very confusing, especially for their record company, who still have difficulty getting the correct single mixes compiled onto one CD!
