YLAINE, as the "success" of that convinced the band they could still do it and carry on.

the anticipated chart position of SKON, however......

Being a huge fan of Echo & The Bunnymen of course it's Some Kind Of Nothingness! YLAINE is ace too though!

I love SKON but it would have been mindblowingly beautiful and a million times more amazing if Nina had done that one.

don't particularly like either. YLAINE is okay, but just okay. Personally I'd have chosen LBN, it's hilariously overblown.

Traci Lords is my fave out of the female duettists I think. Very hard to call though! Nina is awesome and Sophie ia ace too!

There's just something so awesome about LBN, it should be horrifically cheesy, but it works. Possibly the fact that Traci isn't actually a singer, but just manages it. t takes a bit of the sheen off it. I think it would sound horrid if Traci was an amazing singer.

Traci and James' vocals go quite nicely together!

Although Wrote For Luck with Shaun Ryder would have been interesting if he'd turned up.
Was he invited?

I voted YLAINE but SKON is up there... They both hold extremely special memories for me... But I had to go with YLAINE because that came first...?

(I love Echo & The bunnymen though ... And the cardigans!!!)
