Re: ROUND 13 - Sandinista! - Side Four
The tedious Broadway gets my vote. Would love to see The Equaliser survive.

Re: ROUND 13 - Sandinista! - Side Four
Gonna have to come back to this one. I have no fucking idea how to vote here. All of these songs would wreck many of the other heats we've gone through.

Re: ROUND 13 - Sandinista! - Side Four
Likewise. I actually would change my Vote to Call Up if I could. Both are massive bores to me. Equaliser is awesome and I'll be sad if it goes this round.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Now I love The Call Up so no Hoyston there.

The Call Up is wonderful agit-prop with a brilliant vocal performance and the grinding musicality achieves its purpose in the song. Love it.

Broadway, not bad but a little dull. The rest are just better by a fair margin bar PomB.

Yeah, great song. It was never a single though.

"The Call Up" wins alone on the ghostly "55 minutes past 11" line/delivery. But generally it succeeds as a pacifist anthem.

Ack, going Broadway. Equaliser is too much of an awesome head trip to get bounced this round.

All 5 of those tracks are really strong. But sadly it does have to be Broadway. Some of it's live excursions are superb.
