Gotta go with Dead Heaven. the ambiance is awesome and the drum beat is infectious.

I'll stick with the earlier stuff. That played out, 90s, new jack swing beat just doesn't cut it. Don't know if they were ever singles but Airplane, Films or Metal will do just fine.

Tubeway Army era - Are 'Friends' Electric (Well played, but still timeless!)

Numan Pleasure Principle to 83 - I Die: You Die, with a special US Single award to Remind Me to Smile. We Take Mystery to Bed and She's Got Claws are tied for #2 for that era.

Have to hear more of the Numa Records era for a third choice.

I can't get enough Gary Numan lately. Tough call, but I'll go with "Down in the Park".

SINGLE: In 1980,Gaz was at the top of his game....so "I Die:You Die" wins. AFE? is second...a great way to introduce yourself to the world.

NON SINGLE: When the Machines Rock.
Friends.
Films.
Jo The Waiter.
I'm an Agent.

Definitely We Are Glass. The song that got me properly into his music (after dabbling with Complex) and so much happening.

Same here, Palladino's bass on "We Take..." is great.

Let me know when he gets round to writing a second tune.

As for 'Change Your Mind', Bill Sharpe certainly wanted a hit off his solo album but perhaps not that one; he certainly put more of himself into 'Famous People' than he did 'Change Your Mind'.
