The EU person is bland and featureless. He's a no-one in the eyes of the state. And he has a bizarre walk.

Am I way off the mark?

(I like the East German sign, by the way, I just see propaganda in all of them!)

yes, i know, it's funny to try to interpret those...

here's more for you:

the polish chap looks a bit funny, the russian red guy looks angry, and Belgium chose to include men and women...

next Friday, i will be moving to Berlin! yay! that's probably why i chose this pic...

Great album. I had to pick Rain On Tin but Radical Adults is a close second. I enjoy every song on this album....even Plastic Sun.

Went with Disconnection Notice just over Rain on Tin.

Karen Revisited for me.

I've never really liked Rain on Tin.

If it wasn't for Plastic Sun that record would be FLAWLESS.

I don't have a problem with "Plastic Sun". It's catchy.

I hate to say it but MS is kind of a mixed bag for me. Three songs not so good and four amazing songs (Rain, Karen, Radical Adults, Sympathy). Disconnection Notice is one of my least favorite. But the good ones are really good.

I never liked Plastic Sun.

Karen Revisited, is what I voted for. But it is close between that and Rain on Tin.

sympathy for the strawberry... but back in 2002 i would have probably said rain on tin.

the polish traffic light guy has an enormous head!

i voted for rain on tin because it is an amazing song; however i don't like the whole of the album (i'm more of an evol fan). i find sympathy for the strawberry etc a little dull. i like the noise part of karen revisited, but not the sung part. but i love plastic sun because it goes back to the youth's no wave roots. i'm actually excited about jim's departure because genius that he might be i think he was an over-mellowing influence on the band and they need to ROCK AGAIN. so i'm looking forward to the new record.

I can see why rain on tin is winning, but I wouldve picked disconection notice if sympathy for the strawberry wasnt the most beautiful album closer I've ever heard....therefore the strawberry recieves me votee

I have to go with Sympathy for The Strawberry. I think it might be the best song with the quintet lineup, but I'm sure I'll prove myself wrong.

Rain On Tin.

You were proven wrong in '04 with Dripping Dream. :D
