Your favorite Boomtown Rats album

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE BOOMTOWN RATS LP?


My favorite album is 'Fine Art Of Surfacing' purely because there is not one bad track on the entire album, "Wind Chill Factor (Minus Zero)" is my favorite song off the LP as well.

I see one vote for 'V Deep' that is my second favorite Rats LP

I love "Charmed Lives" and "Talking In Code" among a handful of others off the album

"FINE ART OF SURFACING" and "IN THE LONG GRASS". Though I also like "LOUDMOUTH: The Best of Bob Geldof" as a compilation.

"V Deep" gets my vote. I always loved the sound/ production to this album, and I always thought that this album's songs had the best hooks to them. I was never crazy about "He Watches It All", but every other song is terrific. Even the b-sides from this period were all great!
