I gotta go with the Spandau....being the founding member of the Gary Kemp Fan Club and all. "Paint Me Down" is awesome. It has the coolest bass line of any of the selections....I do really love "Blue Skies" though....and "Mother", which The Features should really cover.

I'd go with Mott the Hoople just because they're mentioned in an R.E.M. song.

"Paradise City" has a whistle in it.
That's so NA.

Some very questionable choices. If I had to choose out of these, I'd go with Mott the Hoople.
"Entertain Me" is on the best album of all time, so of course it's pretty good, too. It was not, however, a single.
