I thought this was interesting but here's how Tim Butler ranked The Psychedelic Furs lineups from an interview with the Chicago Tribune back in 2014.
1. The current version*: "The best that has ever toured."

2. The first version: "Usually we were not sober, to be honest."

3. The version that toured in support of the band's smash Midnight To Midnight album: "Very polished."

| Marty Williamson: Backup guitarist for the Midnight tour. |
 |
| Roger O'Donnell: Keyboardist for the Midnight tour. |
4. The rest of the '80s versions: "Very keyboard-y, a very big sort of stadium sound." (This one is pretty much a tie)
*Nowadays the lineup is still mostly the same but this time Zachary Alford is on the drums. He's very good and I would love to see him play with the band live someday.
