I want an Erasure appreciation thread and I'm gonna have one!!!
I used to absolutely ADORE this band as a kid. I still think they've made some of the best pop music ever produced in the UK.
Anybody have any opinions on them? Any favourite albums or tracks?

Vocally annoying, but they have some okay songs. I liked their Breathe song, especially the LMC Mix where they filtered the vocals.

ROFL!! Anyways... Erarsure I liked quite a bit, but to be fair I liked OMD, Pet Shop Boys, Yaz, Early Depeche Etc more. I really enjoyed the Abbaesque EP they did too but don't tell anyone...

I'd be amazed if you've even heard her sing. Hater!

I was never a huge fan of them. The 80's stuff is great but since then they've been kind of hit and miss for me. But I'm still going to see them in concert next weekend because I know they always put on a great live show!
The album I like most is The Innocents. So many great songs that could have been singles like Heart Of Stone, Weight Of The World, Phantom Bride.
My top 5 Erasure singles: 1. Chains Of Love 2. A Little Respect 3. Stop! 4. Who Need Love Like That ('92 remix) 5. Sometimes

Went to see Erasure in concert Friday nite in Boston. Had a great time. It was in a club so all tix were general admission and I was able to get pretty close to the stage. There was a really good vibe to the place and everyone seemed to be having a great time. Andy was a great entertainer and the crowd responded very enthusiastically to him. They played at least 20 songs including lots of old favorites. I was dancin all nite and had an excellent time!

I started getting into them a few years ago, but never managed to get anything by them.
