Difficult choice with so many great songs. The boys at their best .... but if I'm pushed to chose one, then it has to be Sewer. | ||
| Skin Deep |
Too difficult, but if cornered then it has to Hanging Aroo!!

First impressions do count, Sometimes for me. | ||

Sometimes for me ! | ||
| Alinblack |
Toulouse but Sometimes, Sewer and Princess are also big faves | ||
| The Strangler |
Always find this type of thing hard to answer, as different live versions of things tend to alter my decision, which is not the question. So, if i had to actually put the cd on right now, and only pick one of them, i'd probably go for Hanging Around (though love Sewer) | ||

Sewer!

| doninblack |
I'd agree with that. |

Has to be 'Down in the Sewer' as it's my favourite song of all time by any artist, however I'm a bit sad that 'Princess of the Streets' hasn't received a vote.
This song has a great bass line, classic Hugh guitar solo & the most perfect keyboard runs from Dave. It runs at a lovely, languid pace throughout. I've particularly fond memories of seeing this played live on the Feline tour. Steveareno. |

Sewer with Sometimes just behind | ||
| ffursbit |
Not an easy choice at all, but I think Sometimes, but I do have a soft spot for Princess though, that Hugh solo is heaven. | ||
| INTERLOPER |
Best album EVER!! UGLY | ||
| Tim In Black |
sewergot to be sewer, though there's really not a bad tune on it. Rememeber them playing it at Reading 83 and I'd not heard it before. Skived school in Sept 83 to buy it and got caught walking with walkman on about half mile from school, teacher that saw me was an old punk and let it slide,happy days! |

suprised grip has only 1 thik i did it but cant remember | ||
| spaceace |
Toulouse

||
| andyinblack1 |
sometimes for me, especially the bit on the second bridge bit, where hugh sings your way past your station, the greenfield almost runs out of tarmac with his superfast keyboard run.........sublime 
|
||
| PeteL |
Sewer! Dave's organ-a-gogo | ||
| wadey1 |
SOMETIMES the best solos they ever did, the music is so hypnotic you get lost in it. followed by the classic that is PEACHES | ||
| Cola Can |
Still no votes for Peaches. I would certainly put it above London Lady. Are we saying Peaches is the worst track on the album? | ||
| ravenlunatic |
NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!! Peaches is without doubt the best, most magnificent, original, recognisable, sublime, funny, groundbraking, humable, singalongtoable, timeless and brilliant song ever, by anybody, at any time. I have it as my ring tone and when I am priminister it will be made the national anthem. I am right and no elses opinion counts so there!

no trouble deciding here really... its goodbye toulouse | ||
| Alias |
Nope, we're saying most of us love Sewer the best! |
||
| Guest |
Sewer gets my vote... | ||
| Cola Can |
I totally agree..perhaps the vote woud be different if we said second best song? However, I am puzzled that someone has voted Princess the best track. this is in complete contrast to the rest of the ablum (OK it's just slower..) and if you think this is the best how do you like the rest of it. Or am I being a bit simple? It's like saying Last Tango In Paris is the best song on Feline . I never play that and couldn't disagree with Hugh more when he said it wasn't a filler. They may have put al ot of effort into it bu it does zilch for me. |
||
| PaulinLondon |
I think it is not right to compare Princess and Sewer. Princess is a one off ballad that is totally unique and to me is the parent of perhaps European Female. Sewer was just a taster for the instrumental landscapes that were to follow.
I don't know if it was planned but it followed by maturity and progression. |

DeathI know it's a bit off the question but my fave never made it onto an album - Go Buddy Go.What can I say - feckin' sublime!!! When I die I want that played at my funeral - twice! And feckin' loud too. On Rattus it has to be Sewer - the keyboards swirls in the last section are just fantastic at high volumes. I could piss meself!!! |
||
| wanderlust |
GO BUDDY GO wasn't included as they thought it was a bit too Jolly for the mood of the album, and it was considered a bit of a throwaway til it became a double A side with peaches and got the most airplay out the two..CHOOSEY SUSIE just missed out on being included.. | ||

I've gone for Hanging Around - it wouldn't have been my favourite when it first came out, but over the past twenty-five years or so it's elbowed it's way to the front. The guitar solo is fucking superb, and it builds brilliantly throughout the song right up to the end.
Not a duff track on the album though, agreed. |
||
| ROKIT |
Grip was one of the best debut singles of all time, it still holds up well 30 years later. Every song on Rattus is a gem! | ||
| Jon the Impaler |
For me , there are 4 main contenders here . Grip , Sometimes , Sewer and Hanging Around .
Sometimes is great but comes out 4th , Grip - the FIRST single ...fantastic , but I just prefer the '89 version with more bass on it . So its between Sewer and Hanging Around . Sewer , probably their best piece of music ever in the instrumental bit .....but I am just going to edge it overall for Hanging Around ....only just though . |

| serya |
Sewer tells such a wonderful story musically and when it comes back around to the main theme with that guitar...ecstasy! | ||
| NMH1965 |

||
| Bear Cage |
I tried to pick a best of the worst list containing one track off each album, Rattus was probably the hardest to select a worst track. | ||
| The Nosferatu |
