Best Song On The Queen Is Dead


  • Total voters

My my, 'there is a light and it never goes out': 83 votes! That song is taking leads! (but it isn't that surprising)
 
Cemetry Gates
Bigmouth Strikes Again
There Is A Light That Never Goes Out

It felt like the right thing to do.
 
There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
The Boy With The Thorn In His Side
Never Had No-One Ever*

*I would normally have picked the beautiful "I Know It's Over", but I've become very fond of "Never Had No-One Ever" recently, hence my choice here.
 
Oh forgive me, my demonoid master!

Very easy one for me, this time:

Two of my favorites:

"Cemetry Gates" (a great sing-along song that always brings a smile to my face)
"There Is A Light That Never Goes Out"

and

"I Know It's Over" (a song that I've come to appreciate and love a great deal just recently)
 
yowsa!

For me, its a tie: "Theres a Light.." and "BigMouth..."

:(
 
Looks like their biggest hit and most famous song in The Netherlands will bow out of the competition already.

A whole nation weeps...
 
Bump - for any additional voters.
 
"The Queen Is Dead" (best one on the album), "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others" and "I Know It's Over".
 
Will start the first semi-final later today.
Just a quick reminder of the songs going through.
First 4 of each round will go through, plus 2 best performing numbers 5 =
30 semi-finalists.

Top 5 of this round:

1) There Is A Light That Never Goes Out 128
2) I Know It's Over 89
3) The Queen Is Dead 68
4) The Boy With The Thorn In His Side 61

5) Cemetry Gates 52 *best performing number 5 so far

I'm amazed to see that "Bigmouth" looks like missing out on the semis, but if you're taking five tracks from something like TQiD, there are always going to be a couple of classics missing.

I voted for "I Know It's Over", "The Boy With The Thorn In His Side" and "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out".
 
my 2 favourite Smiths songs:

I Know It's Over
There is a Light That Never Goes Out

this was easy.

for the 3rd track... it was between Bigmouth, Gates and Never Had (see, Never Had people, you're not such a small minority! :) I appreciate good Smiths blues), and maybe The Queen (it would have more chance if songs against British monarchy meant more to me personally)... I went for Bigmouth.
