Favourite Thompson Twins song

A typically "80s" group, as mentioned in an old thread and one of my favourite groups of the 80s. Seeing as these poll threads are so popular, I thought I'd add this one.

What was your favourite Thompson Twins song?

I went for "You take me up". It was something a little different and there is just something about that song that makes me want to play it on a regular basis. (But then that's the case with a lot of Thompson Twins songs).

I voted for "Hold Me Now", that is just a beautiful song. "King For A Day" came in a close second, it holds some great memories from High school!

I, too, voted for "Hold Me Now"... this song is an 80s classic and quite timeless. I've heard it countless thousands of times and never grow tired of it. And, like Wonder Twin, "King For A Day" runs a very close second!!!

Of course "Hold Me Now" is excellent, and I do really love hearing it, but my vote went to the lesser known "Sister of Mercy"...which I was listening too today.
