The second of today's heats in round 2 is between,

Robert Smith - Pubester v William 'Smokey' Robinson - Uncle Leo.

Once again over to you lot.
 
Hmm, where to start? Mickey's Monkey I reckon

PS I really like The Cure but Smokey is in a different league.
 
Tough one. Bobster made more of an impact on my musical tastes to be fair, but Smokey wrote some timeless classics.
 
I have said this before I know but anybody who can write this song is up with the best.Absolute class.

"Just My Soul Responding', a biting piece of social comment about the USA's treatment of blacks and American Indians".

I'm away with work today, could someone back Robert Smith and I'll give you some green. Please!

Vote Bobby!!
 
Despite his obvious distaste for my utterances, I'm backing the Pubester on this occasion. 'Killing an Arab' is the absolute bollocks, 'Boys Don't Cry' is even better and 'Disintegration' is one mofo of an album.

Rep Whore :whistling:
 
Voted Smith, despite my loathing of fat goths - The Cure's early work includes 1 or 2 songs I don't mind, whereas I don't like anything by Smokey.

Boys Don't Cry is one of my very favourite tracks. Awesome video too.
 
Time for another dose of Smokey

Robert Smith hails from Crawley.

Smokey's really got a hold on me and 'Tracks Of My Tears' is one of the finest songs from the rich repertoire that Motor City ever gave us.

The Cure/Tim Pope made good videos though.
 
Vote Robert Smith!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
