Roxanne vs. 22 Acacia Avenue

[Entre_Perpetuo]

These songs have pretty much nothing in common but a lyrical topic. So for that reason alone and no other, I'm asking you which do you prefer?

 

I'm expecting the Maiden bias of many members here to prevail

Maiden, though the requirement to vote on each question and the lack of a chooseable option on the second question precludes my vote.

Roxanne. I love 22 and Charlotte the Harlot, but The Cops > Maiden IMO.

Surprising, for someone who doesn't properly appreciate Simply Red and Spandau Ballet.

Now Simply Red I DO hate.

Roxanne! I dunno, both songs have a pretty jammin' beat in common!

 

When I see Roxanne mentioned, 2 songs actually go through my head- the Police version, and this classic version from the 48 Hrs. movie!

roxanne is actually one of the police's least interesting singles for me. 22 it is

I'll offer Cross-Eyed Mary as a write-in.

Iron Maiden all day, and twice on Sunday. I like a fair bit of the Police but there isn't any song by them that I'd rate as better than anything by Iron Maiden. Also, it's no fault of the band, but "Roxanne" has been played to death on the radio. It's the "Tom Sawyer" of Police music.

Even the Bayley stuff?

Not an IM fan. Roxanne

Then I'm nominating Aerosmith's My Fist Your Face, "Thirteen year old hookers, Take a sack right through the bars, You wonder why the man's outside the door, Junior achievers, got the old bull by the horns, Back in the saddle gets you sore."

Solid.

Like both songs, but Maiden got my vote.

[edhunter]

Stupid poll. That's my vote.
