Quote from: weareros on October 13, 2025, 08:47:43 PMI'd put a shout in for:
Leonard Cohen
The Doors
The Kinks
Duran Duran
The Cure
Van Morrison

Anyone want to  second these?

Or these...?

Christy Moore
Take that
Public Enemy
Beautiful south
Waterboys
Chris De Burgh

Substandard

Fire away, you've done a great job to date.  Any of the aforementioned would have a lot of solid options, apart from Van, Christy Moore or Take That!!
And also, point taken, Wobbler, I would be far from someone who gets music given a lot of the drivel I listen to.  I've picked up a lot of unfamiliar tunes from the suggestions people have put up to date, and look forward to more
Just please, please don't go Simply Red again- it's like a band and catalogue extension of Des'ree's Life, which has to be the most nauseating song of all time!!

Yes, I agree.  Austin you're doing a great job so far.  That From the Bunker character has tried to sabotage with his TOP 10s but you fire away anyway.

Johnny Cash

BigGreenField

#1585
Big River
cocaine Blues
Ballad of Ira Hayes


His covers on the American Recirsings set if albums Hung My Head, Beast In Me, Mercy Seat, See a Darkness, Personal Jesus brought him back to another generation and as good as anything he had done.

Edit*

Swap out ballad of Ira Hayes for Girl From The North Country!

Would change from week to week...

Drink to me only with thine eyes
Long legged guitar picking' man
A Boy Named Sue (a fantastic interpretation of Shel Silverstein's song)

Blowitupref

Johnny Cash among the hardest top 3 favourites to pick. For now I'll pick

Ring of Fire
It Ain't me babe
The man comes around.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose
