The Table
Perfect 10
Rotterdam
A Little Time
Song for Whoever

They've done some excellent songs. My fave of theirs has got to be 36D - bloody love that one!

I quite liked Rotterdam but their best 2 singles came later, namely How Long Does a Tear Take to Dry and Closer than Most.

My favourite would have to be Rotterdam. They had a lot of other good songs though

My parents loved them so I grew up listening to them,

My favourite songs are probably Song For Whoever (dad's funeral song) and definitely A Little Time.

All of them. It's the one greatest hits album I have that I don't skip.

Really like the Beautiful South, though I haven't listened to them for ages. My favourite might be 'prettiest eyes'- a lovely lyric and a beautiful melody.

Or for those depressing days- 'I hate you (but you're interesting)'

It is. Though I remember an interview with Paul Heaton, where he said that when performing the song on TOTP, he sang "old red-end is back"

Old Red Eyes.

Carry On Up The Charts is possibly a contender for best Best Of ever! Amazing songwriters!

I only ever liked Rotterdam (Or Anywhere), Perfect 10 and Old Red Eyes is Back. I'm not bothered about looking through their catalogue on Spotify.
