That's tougher. I vote Making Movies because of the atrocious cover picture, the fact that it was named after a song that was never finished, the fact that it only has 7 songs and it's not Love Over Gold level songs except for Tunnel Of Love. So not so tough after all :lol

Making Movies is my favourite.... no doubt.
It's time to push out the overcelebrated Brothers in Arms...

Tremendous poll...    :D

It's not the fault of the album that it sold well.  Maybe it's just damned good!  Don't be afraid to like something popular.  :)

For me the Brothers in arms album had to go first, so I hope it's the next one to go.

I'm not afraid of saying this about something popular.  ;D

I knew a girl who said she hated The Beatles because they are too popular. And I was like — are they popular because they're good or because they're (or at least were) hip? And I think they are popular because they are good.

They were very good before they were popular!    ;)

I had already voted for Making Movies in the previous round.
Thank you for Tunnel of Love and Romeo & Juliet but time to say goodbye.

The Beatles are the best band that there has ever been. Anyone who argues is an idiot.

They are not however my favourite band.

I would agree with you on that, Dusty.
