	Argus is timeless and one of half a dozen albums I consider to be almost perfect. Burn is pretty good but BOC do nothing for me.
	A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life.

	Argos - mainly for the back catalogue.

	Burn... I'll be honest, I never really understood the hype around Argus
	Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

	Argus from these three, but it's by far WA's best album (their first two follow, the rest....) Burn is second on the list, but there are at least 4 Purple albums ahead of it Treaties is by a margin BOC's best
	let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword

	If you don't take David Coverdale's lyrics into account (which is easy to do), the title track and "Might Just Take Your Life" can both singlehandedly lay waste to everything the other two bands ever accomplished. BURN, by light years.
