For me I prefer the sound and style of The Boomtown Rats more than I do from The Romantics.The Rats have much stronger albums and material than the Romantics do.Plus,the fact that The Boomtown Rats have much more classic albums and songs than The Romantics do.I can put on a Boomtown Rats album,any one of them,and not get tired or bored of them,where as I can alot sooner than with a Romantics album.
Not taking anything away from the Romantics,but I just prefer The Rats style alot more.Anyone else care to share as well on who they like better between these two bands? Thank you.

Although I love both bands I would have to choose The Romantics only because I'm a pop fan and The Romantics are a great pop band.
