I almost voted for Kraftwerk's Die Mensch Maschine over Pere Ubu's Modern Dance, then I noticed The Residents' Duck Stab/Buster and Glen. I also like Public Image Ltd. and I went by Funky-T at a forum 21 years ago, and then as FunkET at a forum 20 years ago (both long defunct) due to my interest in Funkadelic.

EDIT: Just wanted to share a video of a song from it.



The Justin Bieber cover of it is something else, or maybe I'm thinking of Les Claypool/ Primus. This is a great cover version, imo, that I expect most would like more than the original.

Pere Ubu - Modern Dance
                      quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond

Tjah, I can tell there's a song on this album which has been quite a challenge for me, as well. Smile

Kraftwerk closely followed by the Residents. 

DS/B&G and Eskimo are actually only Residents albums I like (but I do like them a lot).

I guess I'll go with Elvis Costello (though I like 1979's Armed Forces better). They turned me into a construction company but all I produce is mānuka honey.

Well, we're definitely not thinking along parallel lines there. Tongue

I quite like the Blondie but will go with Pere Ubu - Modern Dance over Kraftwerk.

Looking at it positively, almost one out of three ain't bad. Wink
