I chose Wishing. I did like Space age love song and Telecommunication. I Ran was too overplayed. There was just something about the song Wishing that I could listen to it over and over again.

I voted for "Wishing"; I've liked that song ever since it came out. They've only started to play it on the radio in the last couple of years. Up til then it was always "I Ran". Another good song, just overplayed (as has been remarked).

My vote went to Space Age Love Song, though "Wishing (I Had a Photograph of You)" ranks a very close second!!!

This one was tough, I love A Flock of Seagulls! I went with "Space age love song" because I remember wanting hair like his , I'm serious. How cool would it be to have "The owl cut"

I voted for "I Ran", it and "Space Age Love Song" are the only two songs I've ever heard from Flock Of Seagulls!

I Rant & Rave

Had to go with "I Ran" While it did get over played it still epitomizes the 80s an being a keyboard player I got a real kick out of the video! Also is it just me or did the guitar part in that song sound an awful like a Budweiser commercial that use to run on the radio during that time? I'd love to have a recording of that! It was a 2min or so instumental that rocked!


COOL BREEZE

PS: HERE'S A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS SECRET:
IF YOU WANT TO GET YOUR HAIR TO LOOK LIKE THEIRS SIMPLY COMB OR BRUSH IT BACKWARDS IN FRONT OF A MIRROR!
My friends and I did this and fooled everyone into thinking we all got our hair cut this way! TRY IT IT WORKS!
