My favorite Robert Palmer song is "Addicted To Love", because it was #1 the day I was born. (Oh, and the song's great too.) ;)

My vote went to his Power Station tune, "Get It On (Bang a Gong)", which was a great remake of a T. Rex classic. Plus the video featured Bond Girl transexual Tula!!! :lol:

I love lots of Robert Palmer songs such as "Bad Case Of Loving You", "Clues", and "Sneaking Sally Through The Alley", but I voted for "Some Like It Hot" from his Powerstation days. That, to me, was one of the greatest 80's project bands.

I believe that's GET It On (Bang A Gong).

Get It On (Bang A Gong) is my fave Robert Palmer song, by the way.

Great song, and "Get it on" was a close second!

I chose other - that being 'Woke Up Laughing' from his album 'Addictions Volume 1'.

I have 'Addictions Vol 1 and 2' and they are a must for any Palmer fan. The main thing I like about Robert is his versatility across the musical spectrum - you name it he's done it. Reggae, Rock, Hard Rock, Pop, New Wave.

A great artist!

My fave is "Looking for Clues". It has always been my favorite and I didn't figure it would be a choice. So, thanks Jughead.:)

"Some like it hot", for me... I've also a personal weakness with "Johnny and Mary". I think nobody has mentioned this song before... anyone more thinks is one of his best songs?

Chasey

Interesting you should mention that song Guancho. I've got Robert Palmers Video Addictions, and during it he mentions that 'Johnny And Mary' was a total flop in the US but turned out to be one of his biggest hits in the UK.

He could never quite understand why and neither could I - one of his greatest songs IMHO!

Quite a few for me to chose from.
I chose 'Simply Irresistable'.

Looking For Clues and Some Like It Hot were second and third.

It was released as a single, but only reached #30 something on the charts.

I didn't mean to turn you on, but if I did then I'm sorry. :lol: :lol:

Robert Palmer was cool back then. I loved the ladies in his videos. They looked so cool and chic. At least I thought so back then.

I went for "Looking for Clues" - during his Gary Numan phase. He recorded the Gary Numan song "I Dream of Wires" for the self-same album along with Mr Numan himself on keyboards.

Just thought I'd come back to this thread:

You've missed off what is probably one of his best 80's songs - "You Are in My System" from "Riptide"

Bon Jovi

Hard Choice But I Voted For "Addicted To Love"

My Other Favs are: I Didn't Mean To Turn You On
Simply Irresistable
Some Like It Hot (with Power Station)
Turn It On (Bang A Gong) (with Power Station)
Bad Case Of Loving You (Doctor Doctor)

Rest In peace Robert Palmer. You'll Be Missed

I voted for "I Didn't Mean To Turn You On," but if I had to do it over, I'd probably change my vote to Other -- "Hyperactive." I love that song! But, you know, the whole "Riptide" album was excellent.

And, yes, 54 is way too young. Very sad :no:

Huge Robert Palmer fan here..I love most of those songs (except Style Kills which I have never liked). I chose other because I love "Hyperactive" more than those listed.
