The Bluemoon Song Cup 2023

I get some people just don't have the sophistication and appreciation for good music, without The Smiths, Radiohead, James, The Housemartins and Bowie the world would be very poor indeed

Yes, NO, meh, they put out two records -- so no, yes.

In fact, were it not for Radiohead, we wouldn't have dozen of horrible Radiohead imitators, so I believe the world would be far richer without them.

Wait until you discover the sophistication of classical music. It’ll make Bowie seem like a nursery rhyme composer. ;-)

Well; I suppose one out of five isn't TOO bad. But the phrase "good music", coupled with Radiohead and T** S****s in the same post just defies all logic.

Smiths/Bowie especially

Bowie especially

Correct.

That first on one is as depressing as The Smiths. Are all their songs like that? I‘m not a big fan of the swearing, winey, wannabe Beatles either, so I’ll abstain in this one:)

 

[Saddleworth2]

Radiohead are the 2nd greatest band in the world behind The Smiths, easy choice

Just imagine if a cold play song had been entered in this competition!

There’s a whole bunch of Radiohead songs that I’d vote for over Live Forever, but this isn’t one of them.
