2 that I don't listen to much either.  HF is just plain weak, albeit
three are 2 great songs on it: SYiB and HM.  Imaginos is a great
album, but it isn't a BÖC album.  In fact, apart from Al, BÖC is
hardly on it at all.  So, illogically, in my anger with Columbia, I've
sort of shunned that one...

Gotta disagree about HCTF.  It is very much a pop song, but a truly
great one.  I can understand why a true BÖC fan would dismiss it.
Instead, I'd substitute OotD, which is tied with IJLtBB as worst song
on CotHM...

Well, DM doesn't play on HF!  Hopefully, you'll get a chance to see
DM live, then you'll really be impressed.  Looking at the tour dates,
you may stand a better chance of seeing BÖC than I do in the near
future.  I see BÖC is mainly playing those horrible festival shows,
and hardly any bars these days.  Too bad for me, but at least the
band will be making some serious money at those shows--they
deserve it!
