OK, here goes:

1) Rip (yes, Rip)
2) Cars (yes, Cars)
3) I Die: You Die
4) A Question Of Faith
5) Down In The Park

At least some of us think the old and the new are equally brilliant.

Here's my Top 5 favorite singles:

I Die You Die
Change Your Mind
Your Fascination
Love Needs No Disguise
Music for Chameleons

To make this more interesting (not that it isn't) I will compile all the Top
5 posts and make a "Digest Top 5" - so keep sending them in (to the list!)

Subject: singular choices

While Gary probably had solid reasons for picking the tracks that he 
released as singles (assuming it was his choice) I find some of the choices 
decidedly dodgy e.g. "This Wreckage" when "Joy Circuit" or "I'm an Agent" 
seemed much more obvious contenders as singles from "Telekon."

Still here are my faves in no particular:

1.  I Die: You Die
2.  Down in the Park
3.  Music for Chameleons
4.  I Still Remember (RSPCA version)
5.  We Take Mystery (to Bed)

Honorable mentions to Complex, America, Heart and Absolution

And how about least favorite singles (excluding collaborations so as to 
make this at least a little bit challenging).  I'll get a lot of flak for 
these I'm sure:

Sister Surprise (unmusical)
This Wreckage (I like the song but not as a single)
I Can't Stop (although the single versions are more interesting than the 
album version)
My Dying Machine (one of Gary's most boring songs IMO)
Emotion (horrible song that got terribly overexposed on numerous releases)

ttfn,

Derek

Hi Guy's i suppose it would rude not to post my top five.

1 Warriors ( Mad Max ! my all time film)

2 Sister Surprise  ( Same as above)

3 Bleed ( for someone who is not in to  drugs the words are really mind bending)

4 Car's "E Reg" ( Same year as my van)

5 White Boy's & Hero's ( Just liked the track )

I could really do a top twenty as there is loads of good stuff as i think Pure is good as well so,  

 

Kind Regards

From: cm.turner@ukonline.co.uk
Subject: Top 5 / 12" / MP3 / DVD

I have decided that after 2 years of not 
contributing to the digest, its time to at least 
add my bit and stop the lurking.

Top 5?
Difficult one... as with lots of people I'm sure, 
there are way too many favourite singles to rank 
them. Heres mine in no particular order:-

Absolution (Didn't enjoy this one at first)
Dominion Day
I die you die
Down in the Park
Complex

I really do find that my favourite GN tracks keep 
changing. If I emailed tomorrow, I doubt I would 
list the same ones. Also the singles that Gary 
has put out are definately not always the top of 
my list!

Question. Does anyone out there also prefer the 
extended albums to the originals? Out of all of 
Gary's music, I definately prefer the 12" 
extended mixes (except 'listen to my voice'). To 
me albums like Exile and Sacrifice cannot be 
listened to unless its the extended versions. 
There is so much more 'music'! Brilliant stuff!! 
Not that M+S is my favourite album, but even this 
one extended is better than the original IMO.

While I'm emailing the group..... Has anyone out 
there managed to 'rip' (no pun intended) M.E. 
from the new CD single? For some strange reason I 
can't make an MP3 of this track for my player. No 
problems with the other tracks on either single, 
but M.E. just errors half way thru.

BTW, has anyone heard any more news on the DVD 
that is (was anyway) planned from the filmed 
concerts earlier this year?

Cheers
Chris

Ben's been great with this new poll *but* I have no
idea of *all* the singles released! So I might miss

am...(sucked in by fate I woz!)

Single releases list:

*Absolution
*A Question Of Faith
*Heart (have never had the chance to hear this one yet
- sulk!)
*Machine & Soul
*Your Fascination
*America

Subject: An internet chart

Hi again,

just some trivia for u: 

EIL.com deal with hard to get and rare items and send
me a weekly poll/chart of the most sold items that
goes up to 150.
While RIP was being released Gary Numan was at 49. To
give you something to compare that with, Metallica at
that point was number 10, who are very very popular
worldwide. So I reckon that was a very decent effort!
Gary then went down to 103 but this week is back up up
up to 74! To compare this week: Pet Shop Boys are at
number 5, Kylie at number one, Red Hot Chili Peppers
at number 28, and Gary has beat the following: 
Marilyn Manson at 83, Nirvana at 87, J-Lo at 99 and
Smashing Pumpkins at 114.

In conclusion: Gary's Popular!!!!

Cheers all!
