Lets Rock Rotblatt......this thread will test me....

Sweet. At WP's suggestion, I'm mixing things up a bit, including a post-McGowan song--a damn fine one, though. 1. The Sunny Side of the Street (Best Of) 2. If I Should Fall from the Grace of God (Best Of) 3. A Pair of Brown Eyes (Best Of) 4. Fairytale of New York (Best Of) 5. Streams Of Whiskey (Best Of) 6. Whiskey In the Jar (Sunnyside of the Street) 7. Tuesday Morning (Waiting for Herb) 8. [url=http://www.pogues.com/Releases/WAVs/LPs/IfIShould/THOUSAND.WAV]Thousands are Sailing[/url] 9.

Misty Morning, Albert Bridge (Best Of) [url=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/samples/B00005AQCL/ref=dp_tracks_all_1/103-1820422-0859052?%5Fencoding=UTF8#disc_1]Best Of[/url] [url=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006957SU/qid=1143030717/sr=1-7/ref=sr_1_7/103-1820422-0859052?s=music&v=glance&n=5174]Sunnyside of the Street[/url] [url=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000001A3T/qid=1143031004/sr=1-14/ref=sr_1_14/103-1820422-0859052?s=music&v=glance&n=5174]Waiting For Herb[/url]

Thanks Rotblatt! I'm annoyed that in iTunes "Live and Dangerous" is listed as a partial album. Why do they do that? I would have bought it but I'm not going to bother if I can't get the whole thing.

sharpie Mar 22 2006 02:38 PM

Come on, somebody, vote. I'll have to educate myself on Thin Lizzie other than the couple of songs I know but someone else should start.

Edgy DC Mar 22 2006 02:44 PM

I'm about 50/50 on knowing irish's selections, and too busy to learn more right now. I'll vote this evening.

Willets Point Mar 22 2006 03:12 PM

I'm tryin'. Checked a used CD store during lunch. No Lizzy. :(

Willets Point Mar 23 2006 02:49 PM

What if they gave a challenge and nobody came?

Johnny Dickshot Mar 23 2006 02:52 PM

I'm like 20% on both these guys. Just a nutty idea, but we could have a special Elitist Division for these bands that don;t generate 10 votes.

soupcan Mar 23 2006 03:00 PM

I'm with Dickshot at about 20% I sampled all the Lizzy tunes on iTunes last night. I'm familiar with most of them by the way they sound, 'The Boys Are Back in Town' being the one that I can recognize by the title. Should we have a rule that a band challenge must have a certain number of voters in order for the new challenging band to be included on the ladder?

metirish Mar 23 2006 03:03 PM

Just like in the 70's Lizzy get no respect in America, back then is was a lot of bad luck and heroin but now it's CPF apathy.

Edgy DC Mar 23 2006 05:05 PM

Alright!

sharpie Mar 23 2006 06:29 PM

Already the Pogues didn't generate a lot of action in their Beatles contest since their catalogue isn't as well known as it should be. Add to that Thin Lizzie who never really broke over here makes these bands problematic. I don't want a special elitist division - maybe encourage people to vote only on the songs they know and call all other ties. "Boys Are Back in Town" is the only Thin Lizzie song I know, but I would vote for "Fairytale of New York" over it. Which would make me 5.5 Pogues to 4.5 Thin Lizzie. As a Pogues fan that doesn't seem quite right but if people think that's a way to go in these kind of contests I would go along with it.

Zvon Mar 23 2006 07:52 PM

are these Pogue songs available anywhere here or anywhere?

Johnny Dickshot Mar 24 2006 07:34 AM

I really tried this morning on the basis of muddy 30-second clips on Amazon and iTunes. Based on that the Pogues win, even though the twin-geetar attack of BABIT still rocks me world.

I am familiar with one Pogues song from yrs ago, but I dont remember the name and havent heard anything that sounds like it in those samples. Ill pass on Pogue polls.

sharpie Mar 27 2006 11:27 AM

I guess this one is over - Pogues win. Why didn't the sponsors vote?

Rotblatt Mar 27 2006 11:33 AM

I didn't want to queer the pitch--I think irish felt the same way. I prefer to vote after a couple others have voted. Maybe we should have a rule that a minimum # of votes have to be cast before calling a contest? And until that # has been reached, the challenge remains open?

sharpie Mar 27 2006 11:35 AM

But I think that most people who might consider voting in this contest have decided that they don't know enough about one or the other band.

metirish Mar 27 2006 11:35 AM

Yeah I would have voted if there were more votes.

Rockin' Doc Mar 27 2006 02:16 PM

There are several matchups that I have refrained from voting in because I wasn't adequately familiar with one or both of the bands. Unfortunately, I don't think a 30 second sound bite of a song online is adequate to form an opinion of a song. The can be helpful to jog my memory on some songs that I didn't recognize at first, but otherwise they are sufficient for me to vote on the basis of them.

sharpie Mar 29 2006 09:14 AM

This one's been out so long I think we have to call it for the Pogues based on Willets' vote.
