Jeff Buckley for Xmas Number One

[Taxamo Welf]

rickrolling christmas would indeed be epic

it won't happen though, anon a) no longer finds this funny* and b) doesn't spend money on raids. Well, he does, but not by design - if you suggest that anon *pay* for a tune rather than just write some program that votes millions of times, its not gonna work.

i'm thinking of starting an internet campaign to get Another Rock n Roll Christmas by Gary Glitter to number one. Who's with me?

 

[killer b]

i already own the shaped picture disc of the song in question, so i wouldn't need to buy it again.

good luck with the campaign though.

 

[Weller]

But Duffy is realeasing the Rick Astley track surely that will beat it considering her popularity this year ???




Cowell is of course a C*nt , but even more of one to release this with any of these non talented fame seekers , I wont be watching.

But the first verse fits Cowell perfectly...

....you don't really care for music do you?

well it goes like this

the fourth the fifth the minor fall and the major lift

the baffled king

 

[metalguru]

On this, Jefe is absolutey right. Buckley is crap. Both of them.

Tim Buckley was pretty good. I like his early folk phase and his Greetings from LA period.

 

[david dissadent]

Could not give a fuck about the Urban consensus on this. Its Buckley for me.

Oh no, I'm sure Simon Cowell will be devastated.

((((monothought clique))))

 

[El Jefe]

which consensus is that?

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

I believe the rights to the Buckley version are owned by the same record company as the X-Factor version. I'm sure buying lots of their product will really show them something though.

 

[DotCommunist]

which consensus is that?

the monothought clique that exists in the heads of people who cannot understand why people might overwhelmingly disagree with them.

 

[hipipol]

Saw both the Buckleys, they wuz shite

One couldnae handle his drugs they other couldnae swim

What a fucking pair

Cohen is still with us and goin great guns

Oh yeah, both were shite musicians, nuff said eh?

 

[Bomber]

Normally when I receive group invitations on facebook, they get denied without a second thought. But this one was interesting. The idea is to challenge the whole X Factor shite by downloading Buckley's version of Hallelujah on the week commencing Monday 15th. I'm not entirely sure why they aren't going with the Cohen version but nm. Apparently there is an article in The Sun about it today. Sounds like fun and it'd be awesome to have Buckley at number one for xmas, although I doubt it'll happen.

Go for it Cliche !! Ignore the anti-Buckley lobby, tossers !!

 

[felixthecat]

After avoiding X Factor like the plague I have just had my ears assaulted by the bloody woman who won murdering this song on Radio 2. Dire, truly dire - practically a criminal act.

BTW its John Cale's version for me, with Nick Cave coming in 2nd.

 

[killer b]

Ignore the anti-Buckley lobby, tossers !!

yeah! fucking tossers, how dare they!!1!

 

[fogbat]

It's a bit shit that a great song gets covered by whichever talent-vacuum emerges as the X-factor winner.

But on the other hand, won't this mean teh big royalties for Cohen?

 

[fuzzy felt]

i just don't get this jeff buckley obsession, i really don't. to me, he was just a pretty average voice with pretty average songs.

i do, however, love some of his dad's stuff - even if he did sail a bit close to the 'hey nonny-nonny a wandering minstrel i be' wind now and then!

 

[Flashman]

I think he'd be less revered if he was still alive producing yet more shit records.

 

[FiFi]

I spent most of Saturday evening trying to convince 3 pre-teen girls that all 3 finalists deserve to be hung, drawn and quatered for crimes against music.

I ended up being made to feel like a boring old fart for my trouble.
I have lost all faith in the next generation.


My favorite versions (for what it's worth now )
1 Cale
2 Cohen
3 K D Lang

 

[rubbershoes]

i'd like to hear a version by bad manners

 

[Geri]

But on the other hand, won't this mean teh big royalties for Cohen?

A million pounds, apparently!

 

[ajk]

Well, the retirement fund could do with a top up...

 

[Weller]

Kermits version could do with a bit of a backing hes been short of work since Jim Henson passed over..

 

[19sixtysix]

I first heard Jeff Buckley's voice at Glasto drifting across from the then NME stage.
It was different and well above average IMHO.

 

[lostexpectation]

last year in ireland, a radio station tried to get tom waits christmas whore (or something i dunno) to number one it didn't work.

 

[lostexpectation]

can anyone find the extra lyrics extra sexy version from austin 1998 and cohen live 94 album online?

[isitme]

one baby to another says i'm lucky to meet you
i don't care what what you think if it isn't about about me
it is now my duty to completely drain you
i travel through a tube and end up as your infection

 

[MightyAphrodite]

Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours
I like you
