THE GO-BETWEENS #1
Hailing from Queens, New York, in 1965, these guys (who were
mates with Dion) had a minor hit in the local charts with the single below…
The Go-Betweens – Have You For My Own
THE GO-BETWEENS #2
Brisbane’s finest, formed in 1977, led by the exemplary
songwriting team of Robert Forster and Grant McLennan with top notch support
from Lindy Morrison, Robert Vickers and Amanda Brown. McLennan’s death in 2006
brought the curtain down on the band for good, but Forster remains a strong
solo voice to this day.
I’ve chosen their very first single because, basic
though it is, it’s still one of my favourites.
THE GO-BETWEENS #3
Something to do with the German football team SV Darmstadt
in the year 2000… perhaps a tribute album or some such? Google translate would
only take me so far, although the song title translates as “Football can be so
beautiful”… which I’ve yet to see any evidence for myself, but hey ho.
The
Go Betweens - So schön kann Fussball sein
1st. #2
ReplyDelete2nd.#1
3rd. #3
I haven't got time for this but any friend of Dion is a friend of mine so #1
ReplyDeleteDespite your choice of track for #2 I still think they will be this week's winners
ReplyDeleteBased on songs alone it would be #1 but because of my love for Spring Hill Fair it's #2
DeleteThe chorus of #3 reminds me of A Good Heart by Feargal Sharkey
DeleteI should consult you more n my choice of track.
