Round 1 Heat 14

[Cricko]

The last heat of the week brings together the battle between,

Gary Barlow - Stats v Bruce Springsteen - pickledseal

Over to the Zoner's to decide.

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

The Boss might be a pinko pantywaist politically, but you just can't go wrong with 'The River', 'Downbound Train' and the whole of the 'Nebraska' album.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Jesus H Christ this is like Man Utd vs Southend High School for disabled deaf girls under 11's. WTF is that fat pie eater doing in this competition.

Vote Barlow....



:winking:

 

[Another Surrey Shrimper]

Vote The Boss, not just because he is a pinko pantywaist politically, but also because you just can't go wrong with 'The River', 'Downbound Train' and the whole of the 'Nebraska' album.

 

[Supernaut]

Take That are an abomination, Barlow is a ****, and everything he's ever written is sub-standard schoolboy doggerel of the very worst kind. I can't believe we're talking about him in the same context as The Boss. I'm going to stop now...

On a rattlesnake speedway in the Utah desert, I pick up my money and head back into town
Driving cross the Waynesboro county line, I got the radio on and I'm just killing time
Working all day in my daddy's garage, driving all night chasing some mirage
Pretty soon little girl I'm gonna take charge

The dogs on Main Street howl 'cause they understand
If I could take one moment into my hands
Mister I ain't a boy, no I'm a man, and I believe in a promised land

I've done my best to live the right way, I get up every morning and go to work each day
But your eyes go blind and your blood runs cold, sometimes I feel so weak I just want to explode
Explode and tear this whole town apart, take a knife and cut this pain from my heart
Find somebody itching for something to start

There's a dark cloud rising from the desert floor, I packed my bags and I'm heading straight into the storm
Gonna be a twister to blow everything down, that ain't got the faith to stand its ground
Blow away the dreams that tear you apart
Blow away the dreams that break your heart
Blow away the lies that leave you nothing but lost and brokenhearted

 

[Pubey]

oh ****:blush::blush::blush::'(

could a mod correct my vote please!

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

I'll hold my hands up - I've never "got" Springsteen. He does nothing for me.

 

[Cricko]

oh ****:blush::blush::blush::'(

could a mod correct my vote please!

I will make a mental note about it if it is needed in the final total......we know you really have a soft spot for Gary B anyway.

 

[canveyshrimper]

No contest, Springsteen. He's both a great songwriter and a great showman.

 

[GrumpyBlue]

No contest, Springsteen. He's both a great songwriter and a great showman.

Correct - the Boss by a country mile :happy:

 

[Dick Bate's Protege]

Going with the Boss, not only because he's better than his opponent but also because Barlow has joined the X Factor money train; shame on Gary B, shame on you.

 

[Cricko]

The Boss just for this....

[video=youtube;LmL8gWgZz0A]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmL8gWgZz0A&feature=related[/video]

"Live in Dublin", is one of THE best live albums ever.

 

[canveyshrimper]

When did he move to Dublin to live? :dim:

 

[OldBlueLady]

There's been some really poor rounds in this and then you get a great pairing, worthy of a much later round. I know Gary Barlow is probably the antithesis of what you blokes want in a songwriter but you really can't ignore his ability...."Never Forget" is one of the biggest anthems of all time

 

[MK Shrimper]

.."Never Forget" is one of the biggest anthems of all time

** puts on TB hat **

For gays and birds.

** takes off TB hat **

 

[OldBlueLady]

But it so is!!!

 

[Supernaut]

I know Gary Barlow is probably the antithesis of what you blokes want in a songwriter but you really can't ignore his ability...."Never Forget" is one of the biggest anthems of all time

I can ignore his 'ability', and I will - he's an atrocious songwriter, an absolute joke. Music for 11 year old girls, and 11 year old girls at heart. A talentless ****** who isn't fit to lick the boots of any other person nominated in this battle - end of.

 

[Another Surrey Shrimper]

** puts on TB hat **

For gays and birds.

** takes off TB hat **

Do they make that hat in a smaller size, or is that why it fell off?

 

[pickledseal]

Thanks for all the support for the Boss, I was unable to post anything yesterday due to my ****ing Taptalk issues.... I'll be pulling out all the stops in the next round to see Bruce continue as far as he should in this contest.

I have so many favourite lines, but when I was stuck in traffic at Gallows Corner yesterday, this one came to mind:
"The highway was jammed with broken heroes on a last-chance power drive..."
