Heh, I went for Middlesbrough vs Ipswich for their draw with Deacon Blue.

Bit unlucky for The Specials here, they’re miles better than Tears for Fears and Deacon Blue.

Mate, wait until you find out about Kasabian vs The Verve.

The Specials wipe the floor in almost all the first round ties so far.

 

Tough draw.

I was actually nervous clicking this one because I know how mental GF polls can be. Fortunately you came through and Pink Floyd are leading easily. David Gilmour is up there with the very best guitarists of all time.

Specials.

 

Pink Floyd are sophisticated music for people with no interest in music.

If nothing else this tournament has given me a once in a lifetime opportunity to neg the otter, my political views are much aligned but his music opinion leaves me neggy. I’m not even sorry AoT.

Heading off to bed for a cry-wank now.

But he was part of a band and its the collection of musicians and vocalists that should be judged. Pink Floyd passed me by as I can barely stand songs over around four minutes long,much longer and it simply becomes self indulgent. This put me off Dire Straits too.

Well. You’re missing out.

I feel like I should expand on my drunken; “C’mon” from last night.

 

C’mon, for fucks sake.

Mr Bitch,my reference wasn't aimed at the bands in this thread but aimed at other contests.

The Specials are one of the few bands that never get old for me.

 

I’d describe Pink Floyd as a bit earnest. I’m sure they’re a musicians’ musicians type but where’s  the fun, the spontaneity?

Voting for Floyd as objectively they were a far more significant band but despite seeing them a few times they always left me a bit cold and I enjoy listening to the Specials a lot more.

It all left with Syd.

You need to register your vote, Cath. Could well be the decider in other ties.
