The Bluemoon Song Cup 2024 - Round 4/M7 - P280 - The Cranberries (Zombie) v The Cult (She Sells Sanctuary)

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Looking forward to seeing the end of R2 table, especially after what @Mad Eyed Screamer said a few pages ago.

There was a much better version by the Manchester / Stockport band The Cheaters in the late 70's (or early 80's)

Yes, it’s pretty good.

Has to be Sinead, doesn't it?


On a related topic, I really like the Doctor and the Medics version of the Greenbaum song.

I once had to chuck Clive (Doctor) and Vom from Doctor and the Medics out of my Godmother's pub because they could no longer stand up. They came back the next day to apologise for their behaviour, nice lads.

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Fun fact.

Greenbaum was non religious, if anything he was from Jewish decent. But he was a stoner hippy who wrote this song without really connecting his lyrics to religion.

It's also one of the best guitar licks of all time. It's speculated that he got that distinct breakup tone from using a dying battery in an overdrive peddle causing a very dynamic distorted sound.

So less weed and more batteries and this would have been a very different track.

Where's that skeleton gif that @BlueHammer85 always posts when he's waiting for the next album of the week?

Nice. 2 into R2 and 2 into R3. I'm getting giddy after last year's abomination.

Not happy that Mad Eyed Screamer is still ahead of me with only one song left.

2 through as well but the one of mine that I really thought had a chance got knocked out last round (unlucky draw I guess). My 2 that are left are almost certainly going out next round after narrow wins against very average competition.

At least I am safe from the relegation spots and 10th is the highest I've ever been!

Your doing well but it looks like when the bell for the last lap is rung it might be down to Bimbo and Fog to uphold the honour of the album thread.
