Please score these tracks covered by Morrissey (Part 2 of 2)

[Deleted member 29227]

OK, let’s continue the journey on to (the final) Part 2 of tracks which Morrissey has covered.

For clarity, please score Morrissey's cover version of the below tracks, not the original version. Scores should be between 1-10.

Here’s the 2nd (& final) batch of 22* tracks:

1. My Insatiable One
2. No One Can Hold A Candle To You
3. Nothing Rhymed
4. Only A Pawn In Their Game
5. Redondo Beach
6. Rose Garden
7. Satellite Of Love
8. Simon Smith & His Amazing Dancing Bear
9. Skin Storm
10. Some Say I Got Devil
11. Song From Under The Floorboards
12. Street Life
13. Subway Train*
14. Suffer The Little Children
15. Swinging On A Star*
16. That's Entertainment
17. To Give (The Reason I Live)
18. Trash (Live)
19. Wedding Bell Blues
20. When You Close Your Eyes
21. You Say You Don't Love Me (Live)
22. You'll Be Gone

* Please don’t feel compelled to score these 2 tracks:

• Subway Train (ST) runs at a mere c.40 seconds and has been used (in ‘live’ settings/’live’ recordings) to segue into 2 Moz tracks (EILS, or Munich Air Disaster ’85).
• Swinging On A Star (SOAS) runs slightly longer at c.1 minute, has had limited ‘live’ exposure (although not as a ‘live recording', as far as I’m aware); most notably it was sang over the backing music of First Of The Gang To Die, in a few live settings. Added below for those who haven’t heard SOAS, which kicks in around the 2:40 point. Moz just being diverse & having a bit of fun, I think.

If there are sufficient scores for both tracks, I’ll include in the overall stats; if not, I’ll exclude.

Tracks covered by Morrissey Part 1/2

NB: If I give you an 'Informative' this indicates I've captured your score.

Edit: Planning to close this thread on Tuesday 13th June c.12:00 UK time. Voting has now ended.

A much stronger set of songs this time around. Several of my all time favorite Moz covers, with Rose Garden and That’s Entertainment fighting over the proverbial cake.

Not a day goes by without me wishing that Moz would do many more Elvis covers. You’ll Be Gone is really a missed opportunity, when he could’ve done truly great songs like The Girl of My Best Friend, I Was the One or Mama Liked the Roses, to name but a few.

Quite a few of these I haven't heard before. Song from under the floorboards, wedding bell blues and the elvis cover are my favourites wish there was a studio version for that one.
