Very interesting: for most of us Let Me Down Slow is in the top 3, and also Laugh. What a great single this would've been with Laugh on A and LMDS B.

rough justice
Biggest Mistake
She saw Me coming

Have you made any countdown ?

let me down slow......rain fall down.....rough justice..

It depends on what kind of mood I'm in but,right now the top three would be It Won't Take Long;Laugh,I Nearly Died;and either She Saw Me Coming;Oh No,Not You Again;or Let Me Down Slow.I have to say that Driving Too Fast and Biggest Mistake grew on me a little but,I still think the two worst are Streets Of Love and the incredibly irritating Look What The Cat Dragged In.

1. She Saw Me Coming
2. Let Me Down Real Slow
3. Biggest Mistake
4. Laugh I Nearly Died
5. This Place is Empty

Back of My Hand
She Saw Me Cummin'
Oh No Not you Again

It Won't Take Long
Laugh I Nearly Died
Back of My Hand

she saw me coming
rain fall down
driving to fast

The three best ones:

1. Laugh, I Nearly Died
2. This Place Is Empty
3. Let Me Down Slow

My three favorites:

1. Let Me Down Slow
2. She Saw Me Coming
3. Driving Too Fast

She Saw Me Coming
Back Of My Hand
This Place Is Empty

In no particular order of priority:

Back of my hand
She saw me coming
Driving too fast

rain fall down
laugh i nearly died
driving too fast

sweet neo con
rain fall down
oh no not you again

I see the point. But if the lyrics weren't there then what?

Laugh I nearly died
Let me down slow
Driving too fast

1. It Won't Take Long
2. Driving Too Fast
3. Laugh I nearly died

For me many other songs come close behind, especially RJ, ONNYA, and then, RFD and Infamy! And i like also SNC, and don´t agree with those who consider the lycrics bad or childish (excepting maybe the line where Mick is going to eat his hat if the SNC is right, which he isn´t of course....)

It Won't Take Long
Let Me Down Slow
Driving Too Fast




...A Bigger Bang really is a great record! Time will prove me right...

"got to be worked on
don't have no bark nor bite..."

It's not. Newsweek will prove me right....

This place is empty
Driving too fast
Laugh I nearly died

Since I also have the special edition album I
take the opportunity to put one song from the second
disc up here:

I don't wanna go home

Been Stoned since 1964 and still am!

It Won't Take Long
Laugh I Nearly Died
