The Bluemoon Song Cup 2023

[blueparrot]

I think there should be plenty of Smiths songs allowed.

I mean, given how many got smacked down in the last cup, the big songs by talented artists should have a chance to compete against League Two opposition at home sometimes. :)

You aren’t allowing for the blatant cheating though are you :)

One song has to be over 15 minutes long ;)

I like these too though “solo artist” is hard to define. Eg. Dave Grohl played every instrument on nearly every track of Foo Fighters debut; Bob Dylan certainly owes a lot of credit to his band; etc.

Bands too. Some bands sound better without their vocalist.

Like The Smiths.

Surely no one on here has multiple accounts?
I checked with my other 14 user names and none of them knew anyone who had more than one account....

One man's classic is another man's self pitying, short arse megalomaniacal, plagerising, folk rock tosh. At least Morrissey wears his rampant narcissism on his sleeve :-)

Anyway, how about a rule that any band with a City fan in it, who doesn't have the surname Gallagher, automatically gets 5 votes extra. With a bonus of an extra 5 votes if said fan has been known to play a Jaguar or two :-)

If we did that we'd have to penalis(z)e rags too and I don't want any extra baggage for all the Bernie Sumner/Albrecht tunes I expect to pick.

At least Ian C and Gretton were blues, may they RIP.

Hmmm that's true, and the late Terry Hall too. I didn't think that one through did I ? Maybe there could be a star chamber who adjudicate on 'acceptable rags' who don't incur the penalty.

(Cue someone pointing out acceptable rag is an oxymoron).
