I can't ansewer that lol i have no idea what 11 would be to many to choose from it was hard enough doing 10 and i probably did leave good songs out that should of been in the ten.

I did make a massive error leaving out IFLAW i just forgot rather than leaving it out because it shouldn't be in the ten,it's probably his best deliverance to any of the songs he's sung for the band in his 16 years,definitely,it's defo up there with walk on by & sleazy the best three,I so love the way he sings them all with his more youthful deliverance voice and tones like only hugh can and JJ does too on his songs,they are both one off vocalists who were so different and that is why it worked so well as a band because at times they sounded so different as a band with two completely sounding singers and as writters too and especially on the singles front from 5 minutes to Walk on by and Straighten Out to European Female and Golden Brown to la Folie, what a flexible and versatile sounding band they once were,hence is why they were so successful and on the scene for so very long,you basically as a band have to change or your caeer as musicians will be short lived as stale and the same gets boring and fans and music payers move on,which is why I never get people who keep saying I want them today much of the same as the old days,you can't do that as musical time changes and the same old sound will end your career you have to change which is what they have done with DM,play the old songs at gigs yes great but to can't write material like the same way as songs were in the '70s & '80s.

Hugh said it about the '80s we basically had to change or we're finished and he is and was so right,not a truer word spoken I think.

The old heavy material of their first three albums were classics but that's it best left there from those times and they knew that time changes fast hence a complete new direction on just their fourth album the raven and changed from then onwards every album every 3 to 4 years and that's for me is how they stayed fresh and survived 16 years at the top with hugh.

If they released 10 studio albums all like their first three were they wouldn't of made 10 studio albums and Hugh wouldn't of made the ally as a last gig in '90...for sure they as a band would of been long gone.

So whenever I hear anybody saying they should still make albums, songs and material like their first three were then for me that's just not the right move at all,the past is the past and the future is hear and now with a fresh new musical difference and approach,much of the same is their end of the line for me and they know that,keep it with their stranglers distinctive sound still absolutely yes afterall that's who they are and knowingly sood for with that famously heavy bass,tele,thumping drums and pace....but forwards always with a new difference,key& vital point I think which is what i feel they have been doing so very correctly well at times, but any talk of them doing material like they used aback in day is a wrong way and a defo no no for me logically and sensibly.
The same is the end of the game....for me on new stuff.
Who does that so very well today...none other than HC himself.
As musician of their craft should always be flexible and versitle for ang long term survival and no standing still as ,stale or much of the same is no long term answer for,wanting people to still part with their money on your new material,it's not rocket science for me anyway.
