Free Form Cup Final Round Match 6 *trans-chigley express 7- never/ever 8*

[never/ever]

A

Lindsey Buckingham - Love Runs Deeper






B

Walker Brothers - No Regrets

[Andrews Sisters Conundrum]

Christ, A is wretched! one of the worst choices yet.


B

[Jimbly]

Didn't even bother with A.

B by a mile, although like the NY pick very predictable.

[fange]

Both fine for me without being real standouts. A is fresher to my ears, so...


A

[The Modernist]

Wash your ears out Fange ffs!

The Buckingham is very ordinary midwest radio fodder.
The Walker Brothers adapt their 60s epic balladry to a 70s countryish sound effortlessly. It's a great track with a sweeping splendour.

B

[The Modernist]

Christ, A is wretched! one of the worst choices yet.

It's also one of the worst album titles I've come across. Can you imagine wanting to call your album "Gift of Screws"?

[Andrews Sisters Conundrum]

[fange]

Christ, don't talk to me any more about sweeping bleedin' splendour!

Old Mr. Croony pants can take his sweeping fuckin' splendour and shove it where the sun ain't gonna shine any more!

[Andrews Sisters Conundrum]

ANGE!!

[The Fish]

I like Buckingham a lot. there are gems across his solo albums but alas this isn't one of them. B is obvious but.....

B

[toomanyhatz]

Wot the Fish said, pretty much. Don't hate A or love B (though that's actually pretty understated by usual Walkerstandards).

[pcqgod]

A is like a choice made by throwing a dart at a list of Lindsay Buckingham songs.
B wasn't really to my taste. I like some Walker Bros but this sounds too mainstream AM radio for my taste.

Abstain.

Essential Oils — are wrung —
The Attar from the Rose
Be not expressed by Suns — alone —
It is the gift of Screws —

The General Rose — decay —
But this — in Lady's Drawer
Make Summer — When the Lady lie
In Ceaseless Rosemary —

It's from a poem by Emily Dickinson you uncultured buffoons

He'd have been better off quoting from the Whitman opus "Ode to Spanners".

[trans-chigley express]

[fange]

[trans-chigley express]

A has all the elements I like from Buckingham: good instrumentation, strong hook and blistering guitar.

B is a great standard, but it's exactly that, a standard, and I'm inclined to vote against those if the alternative is strong enough.

A

[Andrews Sisters Conundrum]

oh it's YOU!

blimey

[Santa C]

I enjoyed A very much

B is far too safe - poor orchestration too

--A--
