The Bluemoon Song Cup 2024 - Round 4/M5 - P279 - ABBA (The Winner Takes It All) v Buffalo Springfield (For What It's Worth)

[blue b4 the moon]

Diamonds & Rust sounds much better live.

 

[threespires]

Fair play to JP for good taste but weirdly it doesn't sound anywhere near as powerful as the one woman singing with her guitar. BRMC, as much for the backstory as the song.

 

[RobMCFC]

Enjoyed both but "Let The Day Begin" is a superb song - I remember buying the original when it came out.

I never knew that the singer from MRMC was Michael Been's son. The choice of song makes sense now.

Diamonds & Rust sounds much better live.

Yeah, the live version is better.

Saw Priest live recently, although they didn't play this; they did do their cover of "Green Manalishi", which would have been a much better choice for this competition.

My loyalty to the Priest means only one way I can vote here.

Let the day begin…
Not heard either before as it’s not my taste in music, but preferred the BRMC song. I thought that was good.

 

[RobMCFC]

That's the full time whistle: the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club ride off with the victory and Judas Priest are left praying for a kinder drawn next time.

Let The Day Begin 13 - 9 Diamonds and Rust
