The Bluemoon Song Cup 2023

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

I've never heard it before, had a few listens and it's grown on me.

It's one of his most beautiful....

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Voted Morrissey, mainly to keep on the good side of @Mad Eyed Screamer after voting against The Smiths last round ;-)

*puts bluegirl74 back on the Xmas card list*

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Sorry you have me confused here with your argument- you're either a Smiths fan or a music fan. You can't be both!

*Puts NZBlue on list of next member to look for any excuse to ban*

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Big fan of both artists..... as someone above said, NO's last great song.

You won't be surprised to read my vote went for The Bard of Stretford.
The opening song on his defining album. Go to the Star & Garter Smiths Night this Friday.... have a few scoops and wait for this song to come on.... and just let yourself go......

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

I don't think either of these are that great....

Liking New Order's post-Republic output feels a lot like being a Yank and following City when they were shit. I am very comfortable being outside consensus on this topic. It's also rather British to dis post-Republic New Order, just as British as thinking "Automatic For The People" is a good REM record as opposed to what it actually was: the very clear signal that they were finished as a creative force.

Got to be New Order. Not my favourite track of theirs but unlike many other fans and critics, I love the Republic album.

You have always been among the most clear-eyed posters on this important topic :)

 

[There is a Light]

Vauxhall and I is a brilliant album.

Funnily enough I had just come on to post I was listening to Speedway on the ‘What Are You Listening to Now’ thread.

Love New Order but Morrissey wins this one for me.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Morrissey.

Is there a "neither" option?
