Never heard of the Toys before.
Glad i liked it gave me something to vote for.
Imagine getting Rush v Snow Patrol in a match.lol.

The Toys was of course one of many songs lifted almost straight from classical music.

Great tune that by the Toys. Never got into Snow Patrol but Run's not bad.

 

[PragueBlue]

The Toys. Fine song.

Indeed. At the time they released it, they assumed it was a piece by Bach they were sticking words on to, but its since been attributed to Petzold.

Will be voting for The Toys but don't really have a problem with the Snow Patrol one, not particularly my cup of tea but they seem to be one of those bands who being insufficiently edgy attract a lot vitriol which seems a bit harsh.

If this the standard then I'll pass. Monotonous droning about something for 4 minutes isn't for me.

INXS mind, now that's a bit better.

INXS - fake rock music for cultural barbarians.

I listened to 16 Lovers Lane earlier today. Some music of that type from that period can sound terribly dated these days but this has stood the test of time remarkably well.

Liberty Bell and the Black Diamond Express and Tallulah are really great albums.

Excellent. I'll take that...

 

[journolud]

Neither of today’s offerings have done much for me.

I do like Snow Patrol and Run is a good one but The Toys is a little gem and so gets my vote here
