I absolutely love the touching lyrics to Ho Jo's "No One Is to Blame". This is certainly one of the best-written songs of the 80s and I think everyone in the world can identify with the words to the song, at one point in your life or another. So, "No One Is to Blame" receives my vote!!!
No one is to balme gets my vote too. I love Howard Jones. So many good songs that sounded so different from everyone else.

I was such a fan of HoJo around 1985-86 that it was hard to choose just one. I went with "Things Can Only Get Better", because that song was the one that got me hooked on Howard. My absolute fave might also be the catchy "Bounce Right Back", or the original version (sans percussion) of "No One Is To Blame" Also, "Elegy" was one of the saddest, most beatiful songs I'd ever heard.

I like every song by Howard Jones. I picked 'New Song' because it was the first song I heard by him, which began my love of HoJo's music

You know it! Now that I've thought a little more, my favorite HoJo song is either 'Last Supper' or 'Fresh Air Waltz'. The whole Cross That Line CD is, in the words of the Pet Shop Boys, "Absolutely Fabulous". He also had a great song called 'Blue' on a CD ("Working In The Back Room") I bought at one of his concerts.

I've voted "thinks can only get better". I like "what is love", but was so overplayed (at least in my country) that I got tired of it.

I loved the whole "Human's Lib" album - all killers, no fillers!
My favourite track was "Human's Lib" for the gloomy atmosphere, and I had to admit that the first two lines of the lyrics got immediately stuck in my head, at least for the women part.
I heard a year or so back that HoJo is one of the wealthiest musicians in the UK. Seems that he had a mind for business and invested the millions he earned and lives quite well today. As he wrote, produced and played all the instruments on most of his songs, he didn't have to share his royalties!!!
I chose Everlasting Love. "Things Can Only Get Better" came in a close second. Howard's tunes (from what I've heard on the radio and TV) tend to have a catchy beat to them.
I'm glad that someone voted for "Everlasting Love", Boggle. What a great song! I just saw the video to this song on VH-1 Classics the other day, with the two in love mummies wandering around London... funny!
It's been awhile since I've seen the video for this song, but I definitely remember the mummies walking down the street. If I recall he buys her a bouquet of red roses. Cute video
