Regarding the Shads... what do I like the most?

Since this is a Shadows fan site, it's only fair to let you know my opinions... now you can see how biased I am!!!
(the formatting's gone a bit weird so sorry if some of the text is cut off) 
 
My favourite: 

Lineup: the John Farrar era
 
Singer: Hank (sorry Bruce!)
 
Drummer: Brian
 
Bassist: Alan Jones
 
5 studio albums: Dance With The Shadows, Rockin' With Curly Leads, Specs Appeal, Change Of Address, Guardian Angel
(hard to pick because I love them all... minus the ones after 1984)
 
EPs: The Shadows, Los Shadows, Rhythm & Greens
 
(Official) live album: Paris Olympia 1975
 
'Side project'?: Marvin, Welch & Farrar
 
Instrumental: can't choose! Okay, if my life was on the line I'd say Man Of Mystery and Wonderful Land
 
Instrumental to play: Gonzales, Find Me A Golden Street, Maroc 7, Bombay Duck, Jungle Jam 
(I used to play guitar - lead and rhythm - but I lost interest/motivation... I'll probably have to relearn from scratch if I pick it up again...)
 
5 songs: Let Me Be The One, Love Is Falling In Love Again, It'll Be Me Babe, You Rescue Me, On A Night Like This
 
Drum solos: Little 'B', Arty's Party, Outrider (I've only got an incomplete bootleg of this one... but the first three quarters is brilliant!!)
 
Shadow in general: Bruce!
 
Photo: this one, I think...
