I move very well through all of the DSei catalog and I take advantage of all of them, I always find their beauty, especially the more b-side songs.

Romeo.
Two young lovers
Shangri la
why worry
love over gold
PI
Twisting
six blade
wild west
lions
news
in the gallery (but still like it more than all others on here)
all just not enough drive/guitar wizzardry
Wow. So harsh.
News is a masterpiece, that evolved from a little ballad to an epic live in 80/81.
Almost the same could be said of Lions.
Romeo is not a bad song per day, it has just been overplayed, we got sick of it...
Why Worry is very touching. It can calm my wife down, which is invaluable 😂
LOG is a nice melancholic tune.
PI is a real masterpiece!
Six Blade is fine, I think.
The rest is more expandable.

100% agree - apart from R&J!!

I wonder that nobody mentioned Les Boys till now  ;)

I don't have an issue with Les Boys, but, I think the Rainbow live version is better than the album version.

why? it would be boring if we all chose the same favourite/least favourite songs.
these songs just do not do it for me, not enough...action. but, that also means that most of the remaining songs are my absolute favourite songs, there is no "grey" for me when it comes to MK/DS songs...

I don't know. Maybe because I always thought that Private Investigations, News, Love Over Gold or Six Blade Knife were loved by everyone. But ok I respect the choice:)

My thoughts exactly. Maybe it is a secret favourite, or doesn't actually bother as much.

Mine would be:
One World
The man's too strong
Money for nothing
Walk of life
Calling elvis
The bug
Heavy Fuel

I think that I liked WoL and MFN a bit, but got tired of them very soon, while the singles from OES I disliked from the very beginning.  Too derivative, trying to copy the singles of BiA. Which is a shame because I love the variety of styles on the album and I think I love you too much, Next time i'm in town and Your own sweet way would have been better in their place

Wow. What a strange list. Fair play for the honesty but for me the debut album stands out because of the likes of Wild West End and Six Blade Knife. Not the obvious track like SOS. News is an interesting track from Communique whilst LOG and PI are superb pieces of music. Romeo is over played but what a tune. Why Worry, yes I can see why that came up even though it's quite a soppy / delicate track.

For me there are only a few humdingers...
Lions - although it's not that bad
Maybe Single Handed Sailer / Follow Me Home although I do like bits of their melodies...
Les Boys - just awful
If I had you - wow what a rip off of the Expresso Love riff... brings nothing to the party.
