Not my picks, but four of them would probably make my top 10. https://singersroom.com/best-the-go-betw eens-songs-of-all-time/ | ||

Just a quick browse, but these seem to be rare versions I’ve never heard, with Robert taking lead vocals (sometimes evocative, sometimes emotive, sometimes also earnest, confident and exuberant) on Streets of Your Town, Quiet Heart, Bye Bye Pride, Love Goes On and Apology Accepted and Grant (heartfelt, but also emotive) singing Spring Rain and Twin Layers, with the GBs career finishing in 1989. Mr Moore writes as if he has been translated from some other language. | ||

I hadn’t even read it, just looked at the songs picked. That’s hilarious. I’d love to hear all those imagined versions. | ||

How many songs did they record? I’d guess something like 150. I wouldn’t have Streets of Your Town in the top 75, nor Was There Anything I Could Do? Bachelor Kisses, Part Company, Cattle and Cane, That Way, Finding You would all be in or close to my top 10. | ||

What a brilliant idea that would have been for Robert and Grant to make a practice of singing each other's songs rather than their own! I wonder if any band ever did that? I agree with Burgers about "Was There Anything I Could Do?" A three chord song like that could never make it onto a best-of list. Between its lack of musical or lyric interest I've always considered it pure filler. |
