    For me nothing compares to the original 1984. It's unbeatable. Band aid 20 isn't bad. The less said about 30 and 2 the better haha.

    The original will always be the best. But I do like Band Aid 30.

    Jaysus, I've never even heard of that 1989 one! It's awful. Not Band Aid 30 awful, obviously, but close. I don't like any of them really but the original is the best of them by a mile.

    Yeah band aid 2, never heard of it. You'll never beat the original, same as fairy tale of New York.

    Never heard of Band Aid II?? Eh, Going Live did a special report about it featuring Jason Donovan answering a phone and Bob Geldof pretending the output of PWL was 'relevant'. How is this not a watershed moment in everyone's lives?

    I'm 29 and I'll always love the original over the other 3!!

    Was wondering this earlier, do the royalties for this song go to charity? I'd be disgusted if they don't.

    They sure do. It's a big money earner for the respective charities the royalities go to.

    I wasn't alive for the first two, but the original is the best without a doubt. It makes me feel nostalgic even though I wasn't born then. :p 1989 and 2004 are non-entities and didn't even know they existed... 2014 one was ok I suppose, but most of the female voices are too breathy and ooohy to suit the song.
