Limahl has a better singing voice, but I like the albums they made after he left better than their lone album with him.

I would go for Limahl.
Who remember Nick Beggs nowdays, beside you Seffe?[;)]

My favourite Kajagoogoo song nowdays is Ooh to Be Ah (The construction Mix) [8D]
The video for the song is NICE, check it out

Well, they're both lousy singers, but when Limahl left, the hooks seemed to go with him.

Nick is a great bass player, though. And "The Lion's Mouth" was a not-bad single*, even though I don't think much of the rest of the album that features it.

*Not that the American division of EMI released it.

I really like Big Apple and thought Kajagoogoo would be better without Limahl. But i was wrong. Other songs by Nick Beggs were not as good and Limahl didn't actually do well either. But i'll go for Limahl though.

...i know what i want and i know how to get it...
