You do like something about them don't you?

Yes, I would not be on this list if not. I love most of their early stuff for the variety of ideas and the mid-80`s (up to Baby) stuff for the gorgeous production but with a few tracks / songs I actually can`t share the general praise. If I take a look at Stella I think Sometimes would have been a far more interesting song for remixing. And concerning Flag : I think the album suffers due to the length of The Race - just 7 other songs made it on the album which made it a poor release imho compared to all the albums before - even if I think those were well-done. But perhaps every group needs their own "tainted love" - a song to remix and re-release endlessly and fund a cash-flow to produce more interesting / original music........
