The Bluemoon Song Cup 2023

The Paul Weller sounds like something he could knock out in his dinner break, better than the other one though.

I think in fairness to Foggy, he was expressing his (still wrong uns) opinion in a deliberately provocative manner as a bit of a piss take/protest about some of the highly reductive views we see on this thread.

To your point it would be nice in the second round if people focused on why they loved a track rather than just slagging the other song/band (unless that hate is rooted in a worthwhile anecdote!).

So many choices are not down to loving either. Second round we should start to see the wheat separated from the chaff though.

I am kidding. I like many Jam tunes though I do think they are a tad overrated and never cottoned to SC or Weller solo. Hell, in the airband contest in college me and my buddies did “A Town Called Malice.” Setting Sons and In The City are my favo(u)rite records of theirs but always thought they were a better singles band than an album band. Never quite got the love for All Mod Cons.

But really I’m just trying to combat the anti-Gogo vote :) They are quite underrated IMO.

Would have thought Style Council would be up your street a bit - upbeat, inventive, soul, pop - a mix of alot.

Been a bit torn, on the one hand I've really liked hearing some of the more left field choices some have chosen but they haven't led to much enthusiasm or discussion. Still waiting for this threads JJ Cale to show up.

Two vaguely similar tracks, you either like this sort of thing or you don't. Never really listened to Billie Eilish, it was OK. Aldous Harding is a class act, if very much an acquired taste.
