ROUND 4 - Sandinista! - Side One

[Marky Dread]

Junco Partner is gonna get the votes this round, but I voted Something About England. It IS a bit humorless at times.

So was War and Peace.

'The few returned to old Piccadilly
We limped around Leicester Square'

For those words alone it stays.

Always loved this.

I’ve always been partial to “the terror of the scientific sun.”

Yes! fantastic line.

[Marky Dread]

Sorry Junco you're fun but also a cover version. So goodnight and I will see you down the road.

Yes! fantastic line.

The one that always resonated with me was "the Twenties turned, the North was dead, the hunger strike came marching South", which was about the Jarrow March. I had a relative who was one of the marchers, and I was born in Jarrow. Not much humour to be found in these situations...

Yep agreed a very grim situation. Another song that sang about their plight was The Chant Has Just Begun by The Alarm.

The lyrics to that song are so fucking good.

Some of Joe’s best.

I think lyrically it's solid and the music adds to the air of romanticism and the feeling of loss.

[Heston]

Hopefully the tide is turning and SAE will rightly oust Mag 7.

[Low Down Low]

Mag 7 will always have my loyalty, but enjoying the love for SAE here. It would win for me on at least 3 other sides of S!, just not this one.

[matedog]

It took me forever to “get” SAE, mostly because I was so put off by Mick’s terrible vocals in the beginning, but it’s probably a top ten Clash tune for me.

Are you referring to that one note (respec....ted) or the vocal in general?

In general but that part in particular.

I think it is fine in general, pretty good in fact. I can see where you're coming from with that note but is in tune, maybe just a bit ambitious.

[Flex]

I re-listened to S! last night. SAE rates a bit higher than I'd recalled - next round will be interesting, since my beloved Junco Partner seems to be getting the boot - but for me it's that wonky choral stuff towards the end that deflates the song a touch. A lot to think about in the next few hours, song-wise.
