I like the older Barney...he was less Woots and Toots...but he still had the power of putting his feelings in his words

You mean the younger Barney. The older Barney lives today.

I prefer women. Fucks off Barney.

We are rough on him, aren't we though :nonono:

Don't take it too personnal, Spike: it's like boot camp, only without the "this is my rifle this is my gun/ this is for fighting this is for fun" and all that. Otherwise, it's exactly like bootcamp :crazy:

DSon't worry kid, we only pick on you because we like you.mr. Sumner is hard to pin down. His vocals get better with every album and his stage personality gets stranger every day, every gig. he used to never speak to the crowd, now he does not shut up. But that is the fun part. I get they still have an ace or two up their sleeves and they will blow everyone away with the new album. The touring may be a let down unless they add some more variety to the setlist.

Unfortunately it appears that we will not see the birth of songs like we did with TPK, this album looking like total studio creations. But then again, they know what works and does not.

I vote for the Mr. Albrecht who played in a little band you might have heard of...Joy Division.

Jacko was better when he was a young black human. As an androgenus space alien he sucks.

85-86 I guess I preferred Mr Sumner just before he'd started turning into a commodity.

Bernard Sumner is my favorite vocalist of all time. Always will be.

In 2003 Barney did Vietnam, in 2004 he's appeared at a party for Saville looking much older than two years ago, well, he's 48 by now... few hair with shades of gray, glasses, extra weighth... still really cool though. I prefer the 1981-1982 Bernard, the one we see in videos like Taras Shevchenko and the live promo for Everyhting's Gone Green, up to the TOTP performance of Blue Monday. There was something so special in him... his energy and humour, how he was off his head and brave at the same time...

  1. Some of his best lyrics (Run, Love Less, Guilty Partner, Vanishing Point, Dream Attack) and dancing (the 1-legged chimp moves he performed live).

Nothing's wrong with being androgynous, although as far as Jacko's concerned, I doubt he considered himself "androgynous."

I like Bernard, period! Doesn't matter if it's 1978 or the present. He is my fave male vocalist/musician/producer. And of course, you all know this is my unbiased opnion. :D:

capitals are overrated and take too much time (reaching for the shift key, and all that).

i like any barney that doesn't have a moustache.

Definitely the 1987-1988 "True Faith" period, when I got into N.O.

I agree on the 87-88 period - surely his zaniest when performing live.
