Your favorite A Flock Of Seagulls album

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS LP?

This was a hard choice for me, but I went with 'The Story Of A Young Heart' I love "Remember David" and "The More You Live" it took a while for the LP to grow on me but overall it's my favorite, but my favorite AFOS song is "Quicksand" and that is the b-side to "Transfer Affection" which is off the 'Listen' LP

I agree with The Story of A Young Heart. Their best LP by far and one of the best NW "Concept" LPs period.

LISTEN. It's got my favorite AFOS song "Nightmares", plus some other faves.

Given that many people consider them a one-hit wonder, it's amazing how many cool songs they really do have!

Also one of my faves! Voted for AFOS mainly because I saw the AFOS tour, the opening band was The Fixx, a great show circa 1984 at The greek Theatre in LA!

Their first album does it for me. There is not one clinker on that album (with the exception of maybe the last song), and "Standing in the Doorway" is their best tune, IMHO.

Gotta go with the first one and agree with SkinnyTie, "Standing In The Doorway" is phenomenal.
