Number 191: Ultravox - Sweet Surrender
I generally prefer the John Foxx version of Ultravox, although Midge Ure is a great frontman as well. By the time of 1986's U-Vox album, they heydey of the band was behind them chart-wise. They released three singles from that LP, but not "Sweet Surrender", one of several Midge-era Ultravox songs on this Top 200 list. I suppose the A&R people at the record companies know best, but I still say this song should have been the first release off U-Vox. I'm slotting it in at #191.
