Song Contest Part XXIV, Host: Chipmunk, Theme: Great Song, Poor Lyrics, Noms Due: Monday 11pm AEDT

Yeah, Love Will Tear Us Apart was a winner until Smells Like Teen Spirit came along.

I like Joy Divisision but IMO they have far better songs then that. Atmosphere for one.

Also like me some New Order. Actually I was into them first and followed the trail back to get to Joy Division.

I think a lot of their best were not on albums. I am problably wrong with some. But Shadowplay, Dead Souls, Transmission, Atmosphere and whatever else.

Would say the same though I think they have great songs on both of their albums as well. Could say the same thing for New Order as well with a good chunk of their best songs were released as singles and not on their albums.

Agreed

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

Good theme but we failed it. Aggressively mid playlist. Near forgotten as soon as finished. My offering included. Should've gone my first choice to try and inject some energy into it.

You should have, would have made billy selection easy mode.

Sad to see Turbonegro so low but it's probably one of their worst.

It's a classic nihilistic take on rock n roll and cocaine.
