Yeah I had a few newer ones to post, but felt I was getting to spam levels with the videos last night so there should have been one more post with these in it...


Coronas, Delorentos, Ham Sandwich etc. are not really personal favourites of mine.

Love that Lankum track.

I wouldn't have accepted it anyway. 'Life is a Rollercoaster' was written by Greg Alexander of the New Radicals and was intended for their second album, but they broke up.

Fo' shame Micks

You meant 'Keatings knowledge in songwriting brutally exposed' anyway :pac:

His two biggest (read: known) solo hits were either a cover or a gifted song. That to me says a fair bit for the Boyzone songs he has a "co-write" on.

Necro

Look Stu we all know you're soft-defending Westlife here as the superior artists. :P

You got me.

I'm also padding my post count in case someone wins a bullet and shoots it into the low posters.

It might be a co-write but The Long Goodbye is one brilliant track, even the Keating naysayers would have to agree. Wouldn't they?

It's class, and look I obviously wasn't there when it was co-written, but I imagine Brady lead a lot of what was going on with the writing there.

Not looking to chop Ronan down here at all, it's just this is a songwriting category and I don't rate him that highly there.

Necro

Amid ALL of those videos posted last night Stu clearly omitted the best cover of all time. Also not a submission, and would have done very very well with me anyways

Unfortunately I've got fatigue of that tune in all forms and covers for about 20 years now.


Anyway folks, if it suits my co-host and the majority, I'm looking to get the reveals underway from about 8pm tonight, hoping to have them done by 10:30pm. The final placings are just about set, and again like the first round, I don't yet know who submitted what. I like that method...it leaves the judges with a reveal/surprise of their own to get on the night.

Rikand

Probably would have done better than I am a walrus, but not a lot better. I'm in the same boat as stu on that one

Necro

Yeah well, you're both wrong :P

Whatever time you're ready to roll suits me Stu, this is your circus this evening

Their cover of turn the page is unreal.

That it is tusk, just listening to it here for the first time in a while, cheers for an excellent reminder.

Ok, Necro and I are just finished our table reading of tonight's rundown, we're now about to do the tech rehearsal and then we should be good to go for 8pm.

Unfortunately though, Christy Moore has pulled out of doing the half-time show because "None of those ****s picked one of my tunes...the hoors"

Necro is currently turning Grafton Street upside down looking for some chanter with an acoustic guitar who'll do Wonderwall, please bear with us. If we secure no musical act, we're gonna run one round of bingo and maybe a raffle for a hamper at half-time.

Necro

I'm on the phone to Liam Gallagher as I type, but he's still got the hump with Rikand after his slating in the first Walrus.

So he's out folks, you're stuck with me

I was actually going to post Christy on thread later. Listed to Joxer when cutting the grass earlier and couldn’t stop laughing.

Love that, would have done well with me.

Also really like this song

Is that a sign that later on you'll come here, you'll prepare and you'll do you best?

Necro, just spotted Cian Egan in a garage chipshop locally.

He wasn't flying without wings but he was driving a fierce impressive looking motor, which was getting a few looks from the locals

Down with that sort of thing.

Ok guys, just lining up the first reveal here and making sure that I'm not gonna make a mess of it...

Scoring for this round

There was a duplicate entry, so only 16 unique songs submitted. Therefore we're awarding points for 17 to 1st, down to 2 for last place. No one will only get 1 point tonight.

Necro

HYPE!!!!

Electric Nitwit

Are we running a sweep on how many U2 entries there are?

Following along but can't listen sadly, will be catching up on the unknowns tomorrow

16th Place: The Button Pusher - The Dubliners.

Stu: I do like this song, great POV to write a song from, and I find it quite timely even though the song is decades old. However, this song is credited to a Scottish-born, Canadian-based writer called Enoch Kent. On that basis, I have to place this among the last. It's unfortunate, but thanks to whoever submitted it for introducing me to a good song which I will listen to again.

Necro: I'm just not gone on this tbh. The Dubliners just aren't a band that I listen to and say - 'yeah I can't wait to hear that again'. Just not my kinda jam I guess, soz.


Scores

Stu: 16th
Necro: 14th

Overall: 16th 2 points to
