Irrefutably their best song is Prelude 12/Suite Madame Blue

All the rest of their stuff is a battle for second place.

Prelude 12/Suite Madame Blue here too: There are not that many tunes that can connect with me quite like that, and just as much now as 40+ years ago.

That said, these guys did an awful lot of great tunes in that battle for 2nd! The difference being, I think, the directness of that "connection": "Renegade" - well, no, I was never an outlaw fearing for my life. "Crystal Ball" - I was never quite that lost. "Babe" - well, close, but too many scars I don't want to get in to here. "Angry Young Man" - I was never that angry or cynical. "Too Much Time On My Hands" - are you kidding? Great hook, but I've not been bored since I was maybe 14. "Snowblind" - oh, damn, what a powerful song(!), and I've seen it all around me, even in my own family, but I never experienced that myself, thank God!

"I know I'm a fool, but what can I say
Whatever the price I'll pay... for you..."

Yup. Straight to the soul, tears in my eyes every time I hear this song... And do they ever get the mood(s) right.
