December 4, 2024Dec 4 +5 Band Aid +4 Band Aid 20 +3 Band Aid 30 +2 Band Aid II +1 Band Aid 40 To be honest it really is flogging a dead horse, and I see the stance Ed Sheeran and Fuse ODG have taken on it this year, at the time it was a great effort but times have changed and it’s one of those that needs to be left in time rather than being revived over and over. And as much as I do think Bob Geldofs heart is in the right place he clearly is unable to take criticism (after seeing his response to Ed/fireboy on the one show) and it has now become a bit of an ego thing imo. The orgihinal was all we needed and all follow ups have been sub par recreations. And the mega mix is the worst of the lot
December 4, 2024Dec 4 Author In my case; +5 Band Aid – Do They Know It's Christmas? +4 Band Aid 20 – Do They Know It's Christmas? +3 Band Aid 30 – Do They Know It's Christmas? +2 Band Aid 40 – Do They Know It's Christmas? [2024 Ultimate Mix] +1 Band Aid II – Do They Know It's Christmas? I've also just added this bonus question I was intrigued to think about... Extra • Who would you have had in your supergroup if there was a Band Aid 10 in 1994? • Who would you have had in your supergroup if there was a Band Aid 40 in 2024 using new vocalists? Names from 1994 I would consider are; Take That, East 17, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Wet Wet Wet, Bon Jovi, Meat Loaf, Heather Small, Ace of Base, The Cranberries, New Order and Blur. If a new 2024 version was done, I would expect to see; Dua Lipa, Lewis Capaldi, George Ezra, Hozier, Tom Grennan, Ella Henderson, Becky Hill, RAYE, Sam Fender, Olly Alexander, Sam Ryder and one or two more groups.

[2024 Ultimate Mix] +3 Band Aid 30 – Do They Know It's Christmas? +1 Band Aid II – Do They Know It's Christmas? 1994 version - Assuming we're sticking to UK/Ireland artsits as per the others, due to success or status in the preceeding two years, I'd have invited - Bono, George Michael, Elton John, Marti Pellow, Tony Mortimer, Gary Barlow, Liam Gallagher, Damon Albarn, Gabrielle, Siobahn Fahey (gotta get that 'nana in there), Andy Bell, David Bowie, Paul Weller, Neil Tennant, Kate Bush, Dolores O'Riordan, Jay Kay, Paul Heaton, Jacqui Abbott, Peter Cunnah. The following get solo lines - Bowie, Michael, Bono (THAT line of course), Barlow, O'Riodan, Bush. Harmonies for these - Pellow, Gabrielle, Bell, Weller, Gallagher, Albarn. Chorus for the rest. McCartney on bass, Knopfler on guitar, Midge can do synths, Elton John on piano and Phil Collins on drums. Don't think a current one would work so easily.
