Crowns and Coronets
Back from holidays with an idea for a new series - Crowns and Coronets which is basically artists and/or songs featuring royalty (Crowns) and/or more minor aristocracy (Coronets).
Let's start with a double header and a double header.
The first doubleheader being the band Kingmaker with the song Queen Jane
The second double header involves Bob Dylan pitching in with another song featuring Queen Jane.
Something less contrived next Wednesday.
Kingmaker - Queen Jane
Bob Dylan - Queen Jane Approximately

If this requires a vote, Bob has mine. But I guess you already knew that.
ReplyDeleteNo vote required but if there was I would be firmly in your camp Swede
DeleteNo clear winner for me with these two, unfamiliar with either, but liked both.
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough I have a similar idea for a series myself sitting on the back burner - Been pondering over it for too long obviously and now you've beaten me to it!
I shall return and give my verdict later (but it's likely to be His Bobness wot gets my vote).
ReplyDeleteGreat theme. I'd crown Bob. You can take that anyway you like!
ReplyDeleteKingmaker. Had forgotten about them. Not sure the years have been kind to them.
ReplyDeleteKingmaker sound a lot like The Undertones, so my vote goes to Bobby Z - even though there isn't supposed to be a vote, like.
ReplyDeleteSWC here - this is the only place on the planet where Kingmaker can be compare against Bob Dylan, I mean Kingmaker are way better....
ReplyDeleteand I'm hoping for a UK Grime battle in the next few weeks.
You maybe waiting a while!
DeleteI hope this series runs until you are forced to feature a Paul King track. Alone Without You gets my vote.
ReplyDeleteDuke of Earl - two for the price of one!
ReplyDeleteIt’s on the list along with Steve Earle & the Dukes
DeleteLate on this but what chutzpah putting up Kingmaker against Bob! Had a stupid smile on my face when I saw it and to be honest I’ve still got it whilst listening to end of QJA. To vote would spoil everything but...the Kingmaker track does have appeal - it was the one track of theirs I kept when packing off their album to Oxfam last year.
