I think I'll go with Dancing With Tears In My Eyes, Love's Great Adventure and Hymn.  But I really could pick any number of songs.  I'll most probably change my mind by tomorrow.  ;D

And no I wasn't typing Midge Ure!  :D

"Lament"
"One Small Day"
"The Voice"


Great band!!!  8)

Three more different choices...(in this order...)

'Vienna', 'Reap The Wild Wind' & 'Sleepwalk'

"Dancing With Tears In My Eyes".....I love that song!

I picked "Dancing With Tears In My Eyes," "Love's Great Adventure," and "Vienna."

Absolutely Vile

Vienna

"Reap The Wild Wind" & "Vienna"




And I accidently pressed other, but I also like "One Small Day".  8)

(It's on a compilation CD I bought & liked)

I picked The Thin Wall for its rhythmic intrique, but I love them all.
My favorite mix of One Small Day is a "Club Version" which is on the b-side of the "Dancing With Tears in My Eyes" 12" (The "Extended" 12," not the "Special Remix" 12," though the latter has another great b-side, "Building").  Anyway, the OSD Club Version is REALLY heavy on the bass line, and adds some additional lines to the chorus.  Most highly recommended.

Vienna

Love's great adventure

Lament

Vienna

Dancing With Tears In My Eyes

"Lament"

Is't there a song called the Gift  If so I like It

That might be solo Midge Ure. He has an album called The Gift which has the song "If I Was." I'm not sure there's a title track. I'll have to dig up my copy to find out. :)

Other: I don't remember any of their songs.

Lament


Nice to see that you picked the same one as me!  ;)

I highly recommend them!  :)

I picked the haunting Vienna. I love little Midge. He looks gorgeous in a suit!

Love Lennox
XxX

I'm sure if you heard Vienna you'd remember them. I did when I heard it and I wasn't even around then!

I'd like to recant my choices!!! I've already voted, but I voted for standards. My favourite Ultravox - Midge era songs at the moment are:

Hymn
The Thin Wall
The Voice

Though all songs mentioned are excellent!! :)

Favourite songs not listed (off the top of my head) are:

Mr. X (from the Vienna LP)
White China (from the Lament LP)

I'm sure there are countless others... :) ;)

Much as I loved "Vienna" as well, CF, there was just something about "Lament"  :)

"The Thin Wall" is my favorite of all!  "White China" is sonically fascinating.  The CD re-issue has the extended version of "White China" (the EMI CD, not the knock-off CD from One Way records)
"Mr. X" is another one of my favorites.  Do you know the difference between "Mr. X" and the b-side "Herr X"?

Yes, there's a song on "The Gift" called "The Gift."

All my Ultravox/Midge Ure/John Foxx albums are on vinyl. :) But I'll check that out!

"Mr. X" is another one of my favorites.  Do you know the difference between "Mr. X" and the b-side "Herr X"?

Yes, I have it on a CD (<gasp!> A CD?!?!) I just got called Ultravox Rare Vol. 1. The difference is "Herr X" is in German. :)

Yes, there's a song on "The Gift" called "The Gift."

I knew that! :)

Absolutely Vile

*bump* :D

My favourite Ultravox songs from Midge Ure era are:


1) Monument (1982) (the best one ever IMO!)
2) Mr. X (1980)
3) The Voice (1981)

4) Visions In Blue (1982)
5) The Thin Wall (1981)

Ultravox had a few hits here in Canada.  I voted for Reap the Wild Wind, Love's Great Adventure, adn the one I remember best of all:  One Small Day :)
