The Bluemoon Song Cup 2024 - Quater-Final - QF /M3 - P287 - Ben E. King (Stand By Me) v The Beach Boys (God Only Knows)

[jimharri]

Clearly Thin Lizzy.

 

[Big Joe Corrigan]

Love the Bunnymen, but this is nowhere near their usual high standards.

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Love the Bunnymen, but this is nowhere near their usual high standards.

Remember an interview with McCullough where he said he spent years fighting off accusations of being a Doors rip off band - and then they went and recorded a Doors song!
Agree it wasn't their best but only recorded for a film soundtrack. Still has my vote but I know the Irish vote will see this one through

Wasn't it also produced by Ray Manzarek?

I like the Echo cover (it’s the only thing in my collection by them) and love the movie it was used in. However, can only vote for the wonderful Thin Lizzy and the song that first drew them to my attention.

Close call and either would have given Tiffany both barrels if fate had intervened differently

.....or Mr Lynott being a 'red' may even it out. Still wins hands down for me though.

Proud to say he once called me a 'Blue c*nt'. :-)
