@BLUEALLTHRU when he thinks he is the jazz version of @Tony Lynn 15.

To be mentioned in the same sentence as Bombers royalty is a dream come true. Thanks mate

Let me know if you want, but I can tag KohPhi, you respond and we can get so excited all over again. It will be like discussing GOD himself.

You know, so many Beatles covers are so well known over the original. If I wasn’t such a music loving hippie, I’d be aghast right now

 

[VainGlorious]

Every time I hear that song I think of this clip.

Oh, that's a good one. I'd probably slot him in at 5 and bump everyone else down.

1. Tainted Love - Soft Cell
2. Bohemian Rhapsody - Panic! At The Disco
3. Blinded By The Light - Manfred Mann's Earth Band
4. I Shot The Sherrif - Eric Clapton
5. Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley
6. Respect - Aretha Fanklin
7. Misery Business - Halocene ft Jonathon Young
8. Girls Just Wanna Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper
9. Dreams - The Corrs
10. Proud Mary - Tina Turner

Top 3 are top tier. For those that don't know Halocene (so basically the ones not in the SC) here's that cover:

I remember being very pleasantly surprised by the P!ATD cover when it came up in the Song Contest. Even my wife (who hates everything) liked it! And I didn't realise Girls Just Wanna Have Fun was a cover at all.

I've never seen any adaptations of the Discworld novels. I kind of feel like they'd never be able to come close to the real thing.

This one is my favourite version of that song:




The vocals are hauntingly beautiful. It might even make it to my own Top Ten.

 

[SM]

How goes things interview wise SM ?

Funny you say that, currently mulling over an offer from a renewables company that sounds pretty interesting, but not really the career progression I'm after, waiting to hear back about interviews at another company plus have my performance review at the current joint tomorrow. They've indicated they want to keep me around and might have a new role available to try to entice me to stay so it's a bit of a tricky spot at the moment decision-wise.

Remember buying the East album and a free copy of Knocking On Heavens Door was inside every one.

Yeah, I love that movie. He was awesome.

I remember being very pleasantly surprised by the P!ATD cover when it came up in the Song Contest. Even my wife (who hates everything) liked it! And I didn't realise Girls Just Wanna Have Fun was a cover at all.

I didn't either until it came up on Gold's 100 best cover versions countdown and was surprised.

I wish the Bomber's Ex-wives a very pleasant afternoon and evening, they deserve it after having to put up with you lot for so long

Hate, out of curiosity, how many finals did I play at the Bombers?
