Too many I like too, devildog, so this is a difficult choice. I think that if it came down to a choice as a "desert island disc"-type song by them, I'd pick "Good Gosh".

"In the Name of Love" is one of my faves but my absolute favorite TT song is "Kamakazi" it really has this all or nothing romantic vibe that has the tendency to push you beyond the point of no return.


cheers,

Either "King For A Day" or "Watching".
I always enjoyed their music videos.

"Hold Me Now". I know, generic choice, but I gotta go with the first song that popped into my head.

Hey Everyone! I'm new here...I apologize if I screw up this post-- I too would have to say "16 Candles" is my first pick and "Lies" a close second. I saw the Thompson Twins at the Warfield in SF in 1984 I think it was. How cheesy does this make me sound..

I have to get in on this post as TT are my all time favorite. Someone wrote that they got and kept a stem from a concert. I never had the pleasure of seeing them in concert but, through my old mate Ebay, I was able to purchase a drum stick with the TT l
