If you Swoon when you hear Prefab Sprout's superb Steve McQueen album whilst travelling along the road From Langley Park to Memphis, you might want to listen to some Protest Songs on the way while you try and figure out what their Jordan: The Comeback album is all about before you reach your Andromeda Heights destination. You might want to read a western adventure novel on the way featuring The Gunman and Other Stories while I Trawl the Megahertz listening to some more great songs on the radio, so Let's Change the World to Music together and have a listen to Crimson/Red by Prefab Sprout for a change instead of Red by King Crimson. Smile
 
Yes, it's make your own album time again, and this time it's the turn of Prefab Sprout, following in the wake of  the Alan Parsons Project, Kate Bush and Tears for Fears. The usual rules apply:-  Choose one favourite song from each of the ten albums listed below to create your own personalised album of ten favourite Prefab Sprout  songs. Remember, it's one song per album. Smile
 
Alternatively, if you want to skip Prefab Sprout's relatively weak "Swoon" debut, you can choose two songs from the double album "Jordan: The Comeback" instead to make your album up to ten songs in total. Smile
 
1. Swoon (1984)
2. Steve McQueen (1985)
4. Protest Songs (1989)
10. Crimson/Red  (2013)
You can link directly to the track listings on Wikipedia simply by clicking on the album titles above. Smile

I was beginning to think I was the only one here who had an Appetite for Prefab Sprout, until they were highly praised in a recent thread, but I've lost the thread now - not for the first time, it has to be said. Embarrassed

Hey, Swoon is really good man (and borderline prog it should be mentioned)

Yet to hear their 21st century stuff, so I can't complete the game...

Damn...

But I love me some Sprout!

Despite the boxy 'home demo' production, Swoon still remains the finest collection of songs in Paddy McAloon's distinguished career and seldom shifts from my own top ten albums of all time.

I have a large helping of Prefab Sprout's music in my CD collection, although I can't stand Brussels sprouts. Tongue
 
Oddly, Swoon is the only Prefab Sprout album I dislike, but I was hooked from the Steve McQueen album onwards. Thumbs Up
