Music Cup Round 7 - Dead Artists

by sodhat Thu Jun 13, 2013 9:45 am

First topic message reminder :

I really wanted to call this round 'coffin botherers' but I refrained so as not to offend the sensibilities of the wider forum.

Last round was a romp for transgender anthem Lola, followed by Rod Stewarts ode to a slightly morally corrupt woman sleeping with a schoolboy.

Back on more solid ground with this round, so please select your TWO favourite tracks from the poll. Maybe leave a reason why you voted for what you did, or even better, insult the selection of some of the rubbish tracks here.

The next round will be a bit of a narrower field, and I want your album openers. I.e. songs that are first on the album upon which they were originally released. I am taking a stand and refusing to accept compilation/best of albums because they will be all good songs.

Get them into me by Monday morning if you can and we'll get this hopping along.

Leaderboard is on the last round thread if you are so inclined to view it.

Although my lad was 100% certainly conceived while listening to Lionel. It put the good lady in the right mood Music Cup Round 7 - Dead Artists - Page 3 3559488474

Bananarama. Genesis. Erasure. Lionel Richie. The list is endless [love].

You like Lionel Ritchie and you lambasted people in the last round for liking Rod Stewart????

Dude catch the sarcasm

In fairness, without sarky smileys, tone is pretty hard to pick up online!

by Mind the windows Tino. Thu Jun 13, 2013 2:20 pm

You're right, I won't.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu Jun 13, 2013 2:21 pm

I am definitely going to cancel my vote and revote for the Macho Man as I hadnt seen it in the list.

He kind of is an underground wrestler.

Going back to this, I would have:

Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares To U
Otis Redding - Try A Little Tenderness
Lenny Kravitz - American Woman
Fats Domino - Blueberry Hill
Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower

All the above, imo, are better than the original recordings.

He's a burnt out wrestler then.

by Il Gialloblu Thu Jun 13, 2013 2:45 pm

He crashed and burned?

I'm going to stop now.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu Jun 13, 2013 3:17 pm

Hahahah that I will give you!

That Johnny Cash - Hurt cover for me is the best I can think of. Countless brilliant covers on the Nirvana MTV album, Man Who Sold the World stands out, though I prefer Jesus Doesnt Want Me For a Sunbeam. Very much like Fyfe Dangerfield's Always a Woman and Ray Lamontagne's To Love Somebody, as well as Heartbeats by Jose Gonzalez. Twist and Shout is also a favourite cos of how we sing it at West Ham. And Eva Cassidy's Fields of Gold, even if I'm tired of it. Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole (thanks google) is pretty nice.

Did not know I Fought The Law was a cover

by Guest Thu Jun 13, 2013 3:39 pm

Oh yeah I've got that as well Music Cup Round 7 - Dead Artists - Page 3 3559488474

I saw a guy the other day with an Ultimate Warrior t-shirt, he would have been about -8 when Warrior was at his peak.

ching ching bling bling music

Loved that intro, used to love Shane O'Mac back when he got into the hardcore division. That fight against Steve Blackman was legendary.

by ChequeredJersey Thu Jun 13, 2013 3:45 pm

I'm guessing Round 9 is WWE entrance music then?

by sodhat Thu Jun 13, 2013 3:46 pm

I love the way this thread has developed. Take that Rowley and Tino, this is a wrestling town now.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu Jun 13, 2013 3:48 pm

Im definitely sticking with wrestling in a world where people are gonna be charged to watch Haye v Fury

Lots of people like Westlife and the Twilight films/books. Sheer volume of numbers is not enough to make you right.

The fact you managed to get a girlfriend whilst being a wrestling fan is in itself a miracle.

Snap! I didn't want to order the last ppv, but my wife convinced me we should get it! I also had Slam Jam, gutted that I don't have it anymore.

Change the word snagging to tazering and your closer tot he truth I reckon

by Guest Thu Jun 13, 2013 4:26 pm

Well I say she likes it, she doesn't mind me watching it. And it's only TNA, it's hardly WWE...

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu Jun 13, 2013 4:36 pm

You have a wife who likes TNA? Is she a Hogan?

by Guest Thu Jun 13, 2013 4:41 pm

She's seen the tape, so no Laugh

Rather predictably, she likes Jeff Hardy vomit

Anyone who doesn't have this as their favourite cover probably hasn't heard it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PABXHtFB-9Y

by ChequeredJersey Thu Jun 13, 2013 4:58 pm

It's a parody, not a cover! Also, whilst funny, it's not one of Am Trams best songs (they went to my medical school, seen Adam Kay live several times)

by ChequeredJersey Thu Jun 13, 2013 4:58 pm

Though tbh it is their least medical song
