The Road to Amarillo took far longer...but on a serious note there are many singles which are re-released and then do something...or not.

Well his judgement to publish that was off...

With all his experience you'd think he would have been a bit more sussed with things like that...

Seems common sense but why is he going public with his choices? Is that fair on the rest of the judges and indeed do TBreak as an organisation know about and agree to this?

Yes so far so good...I've only played it twice. Benson and White's vocals work really well together. I find Benson a bit smooth on his own but there's a nice edge with Jack White. Some touches of Beatles mid 60s harmoines and even a bit of Led Zeppelin. Steady as she goes has the same bassline as the old Joe Jackson Is She Really Going Out with Him. Weird. Have you heard Jason Faulkner who is also in the same area as Benson? I bought Superfly for Freddie's Dead as I've got the Fishbone cover version. The orginal is very restrained in comparison but very cool groove as is the whole album

The Raconteurs JJ Cale - Troubadour Curtis Mayfield - Superfly Nick Drake - Pink Moon

Is this maybe an answer in itself?

I love Elbow's cover of Destiny's Child's "Independent Women". Great fun. Nickel Creek did a similarly weird and twisted version of Britney's Toxic at The Lemon Tree

Pity it wisnae Ronnie Wood...a better headline "Wood falls from Tree"... Come to think of what "Stone falls from Tree" isn't that bad either....

I think it's easier to come up with doom and gloom type songs. All that teenage angst and introspective navel gazing. But there does need to have darkness in songs because it reflects life...which at times is "a piece of shit, when you think of it". But you need some balance so I don't think it's healthy immerse oneself in it. I like to hear music that is positive and lifts my dark, sorry, soul. So I go back to The Beatles every now and then...Love is all you need I suppose there's irony there too for me as Lennon's Plastic Ono Band is one of the most harrowing collections of songs and performances I've heard.

Exactly' date=' who would even expect that scenario to occur? It would in 99.999999% of occasions be some sad bedroom wannabe I have heard them but agree with your point.

Irrelevant drivel. Hardly any impact here let alone in music in general.

Another one for the pot. Queensryche - Scarborough Fair Has to be heard to be believed. B side of a single...think it may be Silent Lucidity the song that sounds like Comfortably Numb

Yup...fills everyone with bags of confidence in such organistions and their "processes" . Aye right
