[BlueHammer85]

Gone with Bangles cos it's shorter

authentically more catchier.

 

[southamptonblue]

Bangles.....better than the original, and the best song they ever recorded.

 

[WickyWain]

Tyler Childers with one of the best songs from the 2005+ category, but The Bangles are too good here.

 

[BlueHammer85]

Full Time!
Tyler Childers takes the road out of here.
Bangles safely through.

Two classics. Think I'll go with the Temptations. "Nights" is a fantastic song, but it gets overplayed, in my opinion.

 

[NZBlue]

....above bands like the Temptations, and the Supremes, the stand in a line and harmonize plastic soul / R&B manufactured pop.

I'm going to put my money where my mouth is- Moodies all the way

I get the argument about manufactured soul, I guess, but let’s look at the opponent. It’s the Moody Blues. I admit it’s always intrigued me as a band name. “Moody” I get, because whenever I hear one of their songs, it makes me angry enough to want to hurl whatever sound projection device is playing it across the room. “Blues” is odder, because their music has as much in common with the blues as a vacuum cleaner does with a kangaroo. It strikes me as funny that they had a hit about being a singer in a rock and roll band when none of them were actually in one. But I suppose being three times as pretentious as ELP with one-third the talent is an achievement, albeit a dubious one. Anyhow this song in particular is a horrifying experience, which is saying something given some of the incredibly lame dross in their catalog. On my list of “Ten Songs You’d Bin For Eternity If You Had A Time Machine”, “White Satin” has held a firm spot for decades.
