another hoary old effort from those tiresome beer-and-boxing cunts Thin Liz - no ta

another J5 song? no matter - this one has that fresh (I was going to say 60s but it must have just made it into the next decade) Motown sound I love: tambourines, busy bass, feather-light vocals. A total peach

easily

What a sparkling and effervescent track A is. Great production and I don't think Michael Jackson ever sung better. The best J5 pick so far.
I do like the Lizzy track, but it's a bit overfamiliar and can't help sounding a little tired next to A.

Ugh. I feel as negative as Jumper K's posts now.

I can't be doing with this.
Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.

A quite charming really, the young Jacko before he went Wacko.

B, why didn't you pick The Boys Are Back In Town? There's no arguing with that!

A very safe choice of Lizzy.

Too safe

Thin Lizzy can shove it, quite frankly. Music for terrible men in atrocious pubs.

I've picked A for the main cup before. Thin Lizzy were a bit rubbish.

I'm a big Thin Lizzy fan, even this lineup, but "Whiskey..." really isn't the best of theirs, by quite some way.

The Jackson 5 track is beautiful.... Michael sounds better than ever, it's a lovely production.... and that's one of the greatest James Jamerson basslines ever - and you know how special that makes it.

A in a landslide.

i'm a thin lizzy fan, and while i dig some of the gweetaring and it's listenable, this track is kinda pedestrian. i think if yer gonna cover a traditional tune, you need to do something more with it. something special.

this is my kinda jackson 5. sigh.

I don't mind B, but I don't think it's anything special, and overfamiliarity makes things worse. While A is absolutely brilliant.

I like a bit of Thin Lizzy, unfortunately not really this bit. A was nice, light and bubbly despite really not being my bag at all and not something I'll miss if I never hear it again.

I'll throw a loaded dice in favour of B

God, of all the Lizzy picks...I would've preferred "The Boys are Back in Town." Though of course I would've criticized the obviousness. But this is almost as obvious and about 1/1,000th as good.

A is typical Motown - meaning brilliantly produced and effortlessly catchy and light. And beautifully sung.
