The Bluemoon Song Cup 2023

[The Colonel]

The Smiths

Two unique tunes IMO, but The Boxer is an all-time classic, what with the quiet/echoey dynamic and wonderful lyrics and harmonies, and HSIN — let’s face it — drones and drags just a tad. Still very good — just not near my favo(u)rite tune of theirs. An easy call for me.

The boxer

 

[Dirty Harry]

A great song and one of my favourites, versus a song I’ve despised since childhood, hmm let me think.

 

[bennyboy]

I’m surprised it wasn’t closer too TBH.

I expect this next one will be though.

Yes.The Boxer one of those tracks that i forgot about until this competition.
Looked a winner from round one.

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

This is gonna take a while, is voting for both a complete bottling job?

Yes. :)

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

I've accepted my fate of no longer being top of the charts..... and throwing my full support behind How Soon Is Now?

 

[roman totale]

Tough one and I’ve sparring in my mind about about how to vote. In the end it’s The Boxer in a majority points decision.

So let's be clear then, Johnny Marr went to all that trouble with those Fender Twin Reverbs only for two NY chancers to do something less interesting with a snare drum to distract from the fact they couldn't be arsed to write words for the chorus and everyone falls for it? Booooo.

Johnny Marr may well have gone to a bit of trouble, but then he let that drab bastard ruin it by droning on over the top of it.
