For me, nothing has ever came close to the fabulous "Golden Touch" and probably never will. Don't get me wrong i've liked most their songs but this is the one that really stands out for me.

What's yours?

Mine's Golden Touch too. I actually can't stand the other stuff, but Golden Touch, I have to admit, is a darn good song.

I do like most of their songs, but Golden Touch is still my favourite. Stumble and Fall and Vice come close though.

But Somewhere else is the best live.

I hate Razorlight with a passion, but I think Golden Touch is a great song.

Somewhere Else for me, as I got into them by that tune.

Golden Touch is my favourite but In the Morning has to be a close second.

Somewhere Else for me - saw them at the Nec, they saved it for the encore and it was fabulous

Golden Touch for me as well. Saw them last month and they did this and then went straight into America, it shouldn't have worked but it did.

I do however hate the Borrell with a passion - he was hard to watch at the gig, especially when he took his top off...not pretty.

Razorlight IMO are distinctly average but "in the morning" is quite catchy!

I must say, I got hold of a copy of "Razorlight" (the album) as soon as possible - in fact I won it on a radio competition before it came out.

Anyhow, this album is absolutely fantastic, I would say the best guitar album since Pulp.

However, though I love virtually everything on there - I still don't think anything comes near "Golden Touch" or "Somewhere Else" - both fantastic guitar anthems.

The guy adores himself and rates his own songwriting which is amusing.

Golden Touch is probably their best song (nothing special in its own right), but its VERY annoying done in concert when the crown participate - they sound like a bunch of 7 year olds during school assembly.

Up All Night or Don't Go Back (To Dalston) are probably my favourites, but Golden Touch will go down as one of the classics of the 00's

Have to agree, Golden Touch is by far the best tack they've done. Also really liked America, but as a previous postee said....it's been played far to much & now gets on my nerves!!

Really not a fan of Razorlight, but I'm going with America. I don't care if it's been overplayed, it's an excellent song.

2nd - Somewhere Else 3rd - Golden Touch

America, if only for the opening! one of those openings that leaves you in no doubt as to what the song is, an ideal 'name that tune' song.

Bah, I think Simon & Garfunkels "America" is a far better tune

For me it will always be Somewhere Else because that's the first song of theirs i really knew and I love it.

I had already heard Golden Touch but didn't know it was them, but it was Somewhere Else that made me buy the album

Vice is also good, and i like all the singles off the second album so far.

I think it was voted 2nd or 3rd actually

But it's still great
