Default What are the most Unique (or Strangest) recordings by FM?

Since we are on the poll kick, I thought I'd bend your ear to find out the Strangest, Most Outlandish, or Unique recording by the band.

The Green Manalishi
Blood on the Floor
Dragonfly
Road Runner
Tusk
Honey Hi
Cool Water
Lizard People
These Strange Times
Illume'


Of course, they couldn't all fit into one thread, so honorable mentions are: Man of the World, Danny's Chant, Thought's on a Grey Day, The Derelict, Bermuda Triangle, The Farmer's Daughter, Paper Doll, Murrow Turning Over

As far as recorded songs go, I voted for Lizard People but would honorably mention Ricky as well.

As for recordings in general, I present the following video:

yes, I agree Ricky was very different but wasn't sure everyone would know it.

WTF was that video? Glad Mick just acted in the 80's and not produced/wrote any films

thx for posting.

I think These Strange Times is a weird song, too.

Unique and obscure aren't necessarily the same things. Unique: I went with Tusk and Dragonfly. Obscure: Blood on the Floor is good--but Coming Home (1974) epitomizes that concept for me.

I strongly disagree. I'd much rather listen to that (& "These Strange Times") than most of Stevie's released tunes between 86-94.

Hehehe thanks!
I can't include something from The Other Side of the Mirror and what she released with FM on Tango in the Night. For the rest, maybe you're right...

A great piece. I wonder whether any of the group is involved apart from Lindsey.

The strangest song I thought they ever did was The Ledge.
