10 More Songs About Roses

Post by Palais81 »

In celebration of Hugh's new songs, compare and contrast with these 10 Rose crackers (or even Cracklin Roses):

1. New Rose - The Damned
2. Rouge Rose - Daniel Darc
3. Ramblin Rose - MC5
4. Whole Lotta Rosie - AC/DC
5. Rosie's Presence - Masters of Reality
6. Last Living Rose - P J Harvey
7. Yankee Rose - Dave Lee Roth
8. Black Rose - Thin Lizzy
9. Where the Wild Rose's Grow - Nick Cave ft Kylie
10. Roses in the Hospital - Manic Street Preachers

Would Hugh's new song get into the above top 10?

Hybrid T, Climber or Rambling, the choice is yours...

Smell the Roses - Roger Waters
A Rose by any other name - Blondie

I don’t know all of them , but 1, 4 and 8 definitely prefer them to Hugh’s Rose offering, and would also rate my 10 Rosie’s numbers above it, I unfortunately don’t really like Hugh’s Red Rose very much at all, I am trying but can’t get past the lame tune and lyrics

Thanks for the list. There's a few tunes that I do not know or have forgotten. I will give them a go. I am disappointed that I forgot Garbage and Siouxsie. Cheers.

That Garbage one is a classic, from Beautiful Garbage, possibly their most consistent album.

There’s also Living in the Rose by New Model Army, not their best, but again I prefer it to Red Rose by Hugh if totally honest
