The Bluemoon Song Cup 2024 - Round 4/M10 - P283 - Manfred Mann's Earth Band (Blinded By The Light)v Deep Purple (Hush)

[NZBlue]

Between ABBA (I'm assuming there is at least one more comong) and AC DC, it is as if people think they are the only non UK/US musical groups in existence.

What a thoroughly depressing thought

 

[better dead than red]

Or they are just the ones that they prefer? Maybe that's why they're popular?

Anyhow my favourite Inuit jazz folk song i chose hasn't come out yet so you're in for a treat:-)

I hope it is this one. I do rather like it.

A possible investment for you, Eamo.

LONDON, July 10 (Reuters) - Irish rock and blues star Rory Gallagher's 1961 Fender Stratocaster guitar, described as "the most recognisable Strat in rock history" because of its worn appearance, is headed for auction later this year with an estimated price of up to $1.28 million.
Gallagher bought the electric guitar in 1963 for 100 pounds on credit from the owner of Crowley's Music Store in the southern Irish city of Cork and played it up throughout his career.

Cork music store wants to bring Rory Gallagher's guitar back to his Hometown

'Fans from as far as Japan, Iceland, Germany, and so on would want the guitar to remain in Cork! We will have to move mountains!!'

Although I'm partial to a bit of AC-DC I didn't pick any of their tunes.

Mine was a toss up between what I picked and this...



Then I realised they were Mexican...so North America?? South?

And this is one of the AC/DC songs I’m less fond of — more generic than the things I like. This could be any number of mediocre power chord groups; it’s not uniquely them.

Love this song, it just brings back so many great memories of being at secondary school.

 

[blueish swede]

AC/DC again. Much as I love them, I was hoping to see a bit more variety from people on the overseas track pick.

Brighten up there's Radar Love, Joe le Taxi and Neunundneunzig Luftballons still to come!

AND Der Kommissar.

I’m waiting for Falco - Rock Me Amadeus, Sabrina - Boys Boys Boys (seem to think the video was memorable a couple of reasons) and Spagna - Call Me
