Rank Imperial Bedroom

[King Hoarse]

Right, as you may have noticed I'm back on the boards with a brand new computer. I'm sure you're all itching to get ranking again.

So, rank Imperial Bedroom from favourite to least favourite and I'll be back with the results in a week or so. Here's my attempt at it:

1. Beyond Belief *
2. Man Out Of Time *
3. The Loved Ones *
4. Kid About It
5. You Little Fool
6. Human Hands *
7. Almost Blue *
8. ...And In Every Home
9. Pidgin English
10. Shabby Doll
11. Boy With A Problem
12. The Long Honeymoon
13. Town Cryer
14. Tears Before Bedtime
15. Little Savage

(The asterisked songs have all been my favourite EC song at some point, so you can imagine how hard it was for me to do this. And I'm sure you'll agree. Good luck, though.)

The good king hoarse hit the nail on the head -- some of these have been all time favorites of mine as well. But rules are rules, and this is my order. This week. It will probably be different by the time results are in.

[SoLikeCandy]

It's really hard for me to rank this album, as it's my favorite EC album of all time--with KoA and Brutal Youth not far behind. I don't think there's a single false step here. But..."Beyond Belief" is pure sweetness.

Hard to do...I rarely listen to songs individually off this album...all as one piece or nothing.
