'Sunday Bloody Sunday'. What a great song. It really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday, doesn't it?

 

[ChappyUK]

I reckon 70% of the noms I went....nahhhhh, something else.

I really had to stretch it out to get 5.

 

[Elton Johns Wig]

sorry, should clarify. When I was looking for a nom, I looked at 70% of these, and thought, no, need to find something else. I can find 5 votes no worries

Nothing worse than being hungover on a Sunday after a big night out and knowing you have to go back to work on a Monday.

Bono really nailed that feeling for all of us.

 

[Plugger35]

The Stones were treated like criminals on their 73 tour here by the press.



Everyone that saw the Stones on that tour here said they were amazeballs.

 

[Back One Out]

What should've been controversial about 'Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again' is that The Angels blatantly plagiarised a Status Quo b-side from a year earlier.

 

[GreyCrow]

Very good BOO

 

[GreyCrow]

The Angels avoided an accusation of plagiarising Status Quo's 1974 song "Lonely Night" for "Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again". When producers Vanda & Young first heard the song in the studio, they urged the band to re-record it at a different speed and adding sound effects to avoid a potential lawsuit.[11]

That's fascinating. If nothing else this round has taught us some great things about music. Love it!

 

[Plugger35]

This was the best Angels song anyhow.

My favourite angels song. Though I do enjoy "we've gotta get out of this place" too.

This song was banned by several US radio stations which probably helped make it such a massive hit there.

 

[GreyCrow]

Botes in

 

[royboy2]

Khe Sanh was also banned from the radio when first released

 

[GreyCrow]

This was an interesting one. The BBC banned it

Not because it was about a transgendered prostitute but because of 2 words



Cherry Cola

 

[LiterallyNobody]

Boted.

**** me that was painful. The worst round we've had in ages.

Cherry Cola

Wasn't it Coca Cola? And they re-recorded the line with Cherry Cola to get around the ban?

Pink Floyd had a similar issue with one of their early singles that mentioned the Evening Standard (newspaper). They had to re-record the line as Daily Standard to get played by the BBC. Though in the words of the band themselves, it didn't really matter because it was such an awful song nobody played it anyway.

Speaking of Pink Floyd, their very first single Arnold Layne got banned by the pirate stations because it was about a transvestite.

 

[LiterallyNobody]

Are you in this one illy?

Could be right. I think of Cherry Cola as a flavor but as it is still played you must be right

Similar problem to my recently nommed Cover of the Rolling Stone

Brilliant anthem

In my hosted round. After Ula won.

 

[Smeg Head]

Is this round over yet? Feeling left out of all this old discussion again.

 

[Plugger35]

Do any of you oldies remember the controversy about this Steely Dan song?



Hey 19 was a reference to the drinking age in the Southern states and how it should be reduced to 18.

Massive controversy in Alabama back in 1974.
