The Bluemoon Song Cup 2023

[bavarian blue]

Rainbow for me.

Rainbow for me.

+1

 

[bigstanhibbert]

radiohead are like the rags to me, no redeeming features at all

dio and rainbow all the way

Rainbow, another group with a singer sounding like his bollocks are wrapped tight with an elastic band, shrieking away moon in June lyrics.
Radiohead for me.

I am half in agreement with both you, your observations are right on both counts. In conclusion they are both fuckin' awful.

Thought this was meant to be a music comp, I'm off to complain to the mods - that's if they are awake after their party on Ric's floating gin palace, moored on the ship canal

 

[Big Joe Corrigan]

Somehow seeing Rainbow here feels like a surprise. I have no idea why as they were a great band in the RJD Era.
I've never really understood the love in for Radiohead. Creep is great but that's about all


Where is your star?
Is it far, is it far, is it far?
When do we leave?
I believe, yes, I believe

Stargazer all the way

Hmm, what rhymes with ‘star’, I know, ‘far’, hardly lyrical genius. Doesn’t stand up against ‘He used to do surgery, for girls in the eighties, but gravity always wins.’

 

[NZBlue]

I feel a close one coming on :-)

 

[GrumpyFrog]

Despite my senior years I feel Radiohead are the greatest band of all time. Inventive music and thoughtful lyrics against some of the tiredest drivel from the manual of brain-dead pop/rock.
It really is that simple.

 

[BlueHammer85]

Bit torn on this one - never really liked Prog rock but this is a bit of a classic with a Led Zep rift feel , then again I’ve always had a soft spot for FPT

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

Two great bands, two great songs, love them both. However Stargazer beats Fake Plastic Trees hands down.

 

[hilts]

I do wonder if these bands actually took themselves seriously at the time and look back now cringing somewhat.

Embarrassing caricatures of the era although I bet their amps went all the way up to 11 which is good:-)

Radiohead get my vote.
