Posted October 13, 20204 yr Neither are exactly blowing my head off but enjoying the lighters in the air cosy dark night rock of Biffy's as well as the instantly anthemic pop of Becky's. The latter definitely has more interesting lyrics, about disappointing parents.
October 13, 20204 yr Author I may be struggling with the actual concept of creating a poll. It looked like I'd done it properly until I posted it. If someone could help, that would be great, because this is the debate tearing every household apart this autumn.
October 13, 20204 yr Biffy's is my favourite song from them since at least 2013, I think it pretty much perfects the formula of Biffy Clyro ballads. It may help that some of the lyrics hit hard on a personal level having to deal with being in a long distance relationship during COVID times. But yes, beautiful song. Becky's song is fairly good too but no competition here x (and this marks the end of people vouching for Biffy in this thread now probably because this is BuzzJack we're on)
October 14, 20204 yr Before I read the sub-heading of this thread, I thought it might be about the two groups called Space :lol: i.e. the anonymous 1970s French band who had a hit with Magic Fly versus the less anonymous 1990s Liverpool band who gave us Female Of The Species et al. Spookily, both bands were mentioned on this very forum within the last week! :magic: Anyway, Becky's song is fine but Biffy wins easily for me.
October 14, 20204 yr Biffy Clyro too Becky's song is nice but like all her songs, it's just ok for me
October 14, 20204 yr poll added. I'll go for Becky Hill (of course). I've heard the Biffy Clyro one and it's decent by their recent standards though.
October 14, 20204 yr I really like both songs, Biffy's is easily one of their best, but Becky's is probably my favourite thing I've ever heard from her, so it's a no-brainer for me. Becky FTW!
October 14, 20204 yr Like them both but Biffy’s has really struck me over the past couple of weeks. Definitely a highlight of the album and got me back into listening to it after my initial listen as I wasn’t too struck by the first two singles.
October 14, 20204 yr Author I've never really got into Biffy by the way but I do think Black Chandalier and Instant History are great. Probably Many of Horror too (or as Matt Curdle would call it, When We Collide).

October 14, 20204 yr I really like this and the only other ballad I know from them is Many Of Horror.. any others you can recommend? Howl, Bubbles, Black Chandelier, All Singing & All Dancing and Re-Arrange are some of my other favourites!
October 14, 20204 yr I like The Captain and Bubbles but That Golden Rule is the ONE :wub: Edited October 14, 20204 yr by Dobbo
