The Bluemoon Song Cup 2023

[chesterbells]

To disjointed for me. My favourite version is the live one...

Yeah, I just feel you get more minutes of joy on the quad mix, but each to our own - that version you’ve posted is brill too - let’s be honest, they’re all tasty aren’t they?

 

[AlexWilliamsGloves]

Guy Picciotto sang for Fugazi more than Ian, didn't he?

Agreed with all you said here. Too bad Waiting Room is up against such a tough competitor.

Tbf you’re probably right….I’m a bit of a Mackaye fan boy so always mention him first lol

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Got to give this one to Depeche Mode. Dave gahan dragging that deck chair around the tops is better than that coronation thingy back in may.

There's a notable dearth of classic soul tracks in this competition, despite many members on here having a huge appreciation and knowledge of that genre of music

Seems that way, but then the OP says the tracks chosen came from 32 posters on here who submitted tracks in the first place …

I fucking love rites of spring

Yep they were great too! Good handle by the way; I’d plump for Wave of Mutilation as a double entendre that could be seen as a description of what City have done to Utd in recent years . . .

Thank you, if I had any kind of ego I could have used "here comes your man"

Personally I would have it over a high proportion of the picks so far a great choice IMO including DM.

Shame it won't go through but thems the breaks.

Close call but I'll go for the underdog

Are you sure you don't mean the the Gentle Giant?

 

[NZBlue]

I love both these. I need more time but I wish they weren't paired together

 

[bennyboy]

If it was the Banshees it would get my vote.
It is not so Simon Dupeee gets it.

Beatles are my favourite band ever so thought this would be a easy choice but having listened to Kites for the first time ever a couple times now I'm debating this one.

Yeah, I know it's a bit heretical to suggest that a cover is better than a Beatles original but I agree the transcendental malarky hippie vibe of the original isn't as good as the Banshees cover.

The great thing about this thread is some of the picks.
Dear Prudence of all the Beatles songs why this one.
Fleetwood Mac,Smiths,New Order and a lot more come in this why this one as well.
