'Stop!'...quite simply a perfect pop song - no more, no less...

I decided to go with Stop! though A Little Respect would be a close second and after that would be any number of their songs!

I went with "Chains of Love" (1988)

Even if it's got some odd lyrics:

Together, we`ll break
These chains of love
Don`t give up, don`t give up now
Together with me and my baby
Break the chains of love
Together, we`ll break
These chains of love...

???

THE CIRCUS
A labor ballad in the midst of love songs.
Oh L'Amour is my second choice.  The Wonderland album has some of Clarke's best songs!

I went for 'other' (even though there is no choice for 'other') - Reunion. Catchy tune and very nice.

Subject: Re: Erasure Song Poll

I'll go 'other' also...
'Heart Of Stone'
The entire 'Innocents' album does my head in.... love it to death :D

For me it was a three way tie between Sometimes, A Little Respect and Stop.  SOmetimes just edged it, though, in memory of Saturday nights at Sammy's

In no particular order:

Oh L'amour
Chains Of Love
A Little Respect

  "Chorus" is my fave from Erasure.

Subject: Re: Erasure Song Poll

Written By: Kryllith on 09/08/04 at 11:54 am

Of these songs, "Drama!"... of other Erasure (though non-90s) songs, probably "Phantom Bride."

i chose oh l'amour, but my real favorite erasure song is witch in the ditch.  saw them in concert -  the whole thing was pathetically lip synced (lip sanc?!)

Written By: 80sTrivMeister on 11/25/05 at 2:31 pm

Oh, but I love Erasure!!! So many fantasic songs. Ultimately, I voted for Who Needs Love That? as my favorite of their 80s songs. My fave song is from the 90s, however, the unforgettable Chorus... :)

Erasure's one of my favorite artists... I love so many of their songs!!

I think my favorite would be "Oh L'Amour" but I like almost all of them.

Subject: Re: Erasure Song Poll

I like everything that Erasure does, but I had to make a pick so I chose Oh L'Amour

Subject: Re: Erasure Song Poll

Written By: MaxwellSmart on 01/01/07 at 11:36 pm

"Oh L'Amour" is an awesome song.  The entire "Wonderland" album is essentially the third Yazoo album, that's why it's so great.  Subsequently, Erasure found it's own voice, which I didn't like nearly as much as Yazoo.  I do like many of Erasure's post-wonderland songs, especially:

The Circus**
Sexuality*
A Little Respect
Rock Me Gently++
Blue Savannah
Take Me Back+

*and yet I despised Paul Lekakis' "Boom Boom Boom (Let's Go Back To My Room)"  What gives?
;D

**Still the only gay synth-pop labor ballad I've ever heard!
+ The "I Say I Say I Say" album I liked better than most because Martin Ware produced it.
++ The extended mix features Diamanda Galas on backing vocals.  How about that?
