The Bluemoon Song Cup 2023

[Bill Walker]

Radiohead for me.

 

[Mancitydoogle]

Has to be Floyd, like today has to be City.

Oh the irony of Radiohead being up against the band they are a limp, hookless, cynical, more depressed version of. A band whose spirit of inventiveness and depth of feeling they never captured. That’s not to say PF is perfect — they can be plenty pretentious and can trudge along tempo-wise, though I’ve always found the lyrics of “Time” quite moving. But when you’re the most overrated band in the history of pop music it doesn’t matter who you’re up against — you lose, as you damn well should.

Had no idea you would dislike Radiohead so much

Overrated and dislike might not be the same thing in most peoples eyes including Fog , but I am confident he didn't listen to the song up against Time here twice.

I wouldn't go as far as Fog in terms of his summary and sentiment however I cannot think of many songs I have listened to from Radiohead (and I actually have two of their albums ) that would give me more listening pleasure than any I have listened from PF for example.

16-3 is holding their own?

Fucking hell!!!

I must have been reading it wrong........... :-)

Radiohead song 5 parts music to 5 parts fannying around. Less fannying around in the PF song so gets my vote.

You should quantify it in parts of 10 for continuity and scale. If it is 4 parts fannying around, it is only marginally better.
