Both had one big album and both are bands led by women singers. Which one is your favorite?

I really like Berlin, but Dale & the guys had something extra, and it wasn't cellophane bikini's. Missing Person's have quite a few songs I can listen to over & over. They typified what I always thought the L.A. club/music scene would be like.

Early Berlin was awesome, but by 1987 the metamorphosis into Heart was well underway.

I voted for Berlin, but I really can't forgive them for that "Take My Breath Away" crap from Top Gun.

I couldn't vote on this one cause this is a "now and then" question for me. If this was a then question, I would pick Missing Persons. They were my favourite band for a time and I loved the way they look as well as their music in the 80's. Berlin was g

Well, Warren Cucurillo is available since he got booted out of the newly reunited Duran Duran.[:p]

I like both, thus, the only thing that breaks the tie for me is what Temple said--"Take My Breasts...er, I mean "Breath" Away", which is just a giant bug

I also like both immensely, but by 1986 Berlin really went so awry that I can't choose them.

Originally, I loved Missing Persons, but over time it became Berlin. Terri Nunn puts on an excellent show nowadays[:p]
