Another oddly juxtaposed poll for your amusement

(It is just for fun, or because im mad, and to do something different - I kind of like digging up songs I think no one would ever put together - and I like reviving old songs)

Two songs both about staying but couldn't be more different in so many ways.


Stay - Giant



I really like the looking through the window in the sandcastle bit of this.



Stay - Shakespeare's Sister



No matter how much I didn't want to end up liking this I always did.

I suppose its just brilliantly hysterical or something, great song and video.

    No option for 'neither'...?

    I liked Shakespeare's Sister, but that song just got on my t*ts... Overkill, I think, when it first came out...

    I don't know that Giant track, sounds very middle of the road soft rock, I can't see it polling well compared to the more individual sound of Shakespear's Sister.

    Gotta be Shakespeare's Sister. Massively overplayed (at the time) but a good song with a memorable video.

    It has been rumoured that Fahey, having 12 hours to kill, drank an excessive amount of vodka before filming her scenes for the video, (hence the awkward staggering and wild-eyed smirks).

    Hope that's true :lol:

    the axe solo wins it for giant. never liked that Shakespeare's sister song, although I did like mary whitehouse experience's parody of it. Just looked on youtube but I can't find it, it'll be halfway through one of the episodes they've got up. They did a series of song parodies which would end with one going up to the other and saying "what do I pay you for exactly?"

    Yes it is, but the Shakespear's Sister song would be tending towards Gothic / Emo I suppose, not knowing a lot about genres.

    Shakespear's Sister does have a more individual sound, but not sure whether that would give it any edge in this poll.


    Sorry for not putting in the neither option, should have added that.

    Just say "Neither" in thread
