While not entirely disagreeing :) "Sound of the Crowd" is terrific. And "Seconds" off Dare is one of their best songs ever, for me.
With you entirely on U-Vox, but I do like "Vienna" and "The Thin Wall" from Midge's version.
As silly as this might sound, I was and remain a keen advocate of the electronic Sheffield bands - it smacked of betrayal when The Human League got off the boat and entered the charts bigtime.
