I change my last comment regarding the unlucky Smiths to the Walker Brothers , the previous two were only worthy of a BM Cup amongst the second division with respect to the casters. If you read this BH I think its fair to have a late rule change whereby the lowest scoring winner runs off in a...

Alas Jim , Oasis has come back late and will go through.

Yes its a bit like Paul McCartney albeit he has no stage name and many an artist preferred their second name I am a great admirer of Scott's voice , its smooth and effortless like Karen Carpenter but always hits the spot and although a cover No Regrets they gave an edge that Tom Rush's...

It will need to be of the magnitude of the Melbourne comeback in the AFL tonight BH. Scott Engel the most enigmatic artist to grace our planet in my time at least and the first American born artist outside Elvis to have a number one album in the UK since 1960 and his his " brothers in name only...

You must be you know its Cleveland Rocks , it says so in The Hall of Fame.

I would have preferred a whoever scores first wins but BH85 cannot for unexplainable reasons including using the best of cutting edge AI tools load the winner into the forum for liking in round 2 and a lucky loser like the highest liked total of a song from the Smiths gets a second chance.

Meatloaf single off Bat out of Hell with some poetic licence.

TTWOOMM.

Two artists that you could easily argue have legend status in OZ , two great pub bands one from my home town and one I have heard very little of in order of your selections Rob. Some excellent choices and enjoyed them all and haven't played much of TOSAW in recent years so it was nice to...

I have this nagging feeling that the Boxer is one of your picks Fog. Not sure how high it is on your list of all time favourites Fog but yes certainly one of their best albeit the coda is a little too long IMO.

You have written many incisive posts much of which I concur with and despite the odd vitriol from those that should know better this is another one of them CB. I am pleased that you pay nought homage to them and continue the discussion.

Would love to (LOL) I found it easy to recite and remember the words of many a S&G track because in part they were so beautifully written.

I am envious , I used to be able to get hold to a D harmony in my younger years but certainly not pitch perfect. My son was always much more accomplished better than me with a capo on the fret so I would sing this song to his best version of PS. Artistic differences cut their output by some...

Stiff Saddleworth FWIW despite some vitriol I rate that song and put it forward as one of my top 5 songs in the sixties box set. Tom and Gerry's words in describing moments in time that we wouldn't even consider least of all reflect upon and bring them to life is mind blowing.

Its a chance to go through as long as it isn't the Chicks version.

It's the version that appears on their compilations and you are spot on.

TC Whites song was flogged to death over here in oz and still gets the odd play on ABC's Rave program albeit broadcast in the graveyard hours these days a great show to introduce one to music you rarely hear on FM channels..

Yes I am sure there was this rivalry between them as brothers always wanting to get closer to the perfect song they could never write. I remember in an interview some years ago I heard Tim mentioning he wrote his best music while he a member of Split Enz with I Hope I Never from True Colours...

That's a good point you make about Johnny Cash , unless you dig a little deeper you don't realise how many of his signature tunes were written by others despite his song writing talent. One of his most innovative songs IMO Ring of Fire was co written by his wife to be and Merle Kilgore disputed...

Coat summarises the Boss for me as well I could so I won't add much. Don't get me wrong gives incredible grit and stamina in his concerts and many of my music devotee friends would go a long way to see him and have when money and time permits but his music does little for me and ironically like...
