Results of RetroClash #59

 

Dusty Springfield - Son of a Preacher Man [ 10 ] [66.67%]

The Tourists - I Only Want to Be With You [ 5 ] [33.33%]

 

As expected Dusty beat out the Tourists although it wasn't the complete whitewash I was fearing. Next up is a track that has been getting a lot of attention in the Album of 1992 thread and I thought it was a plum candidate for the retroclash so for your delectation is Flowered Up's epic Weekender.

 

You have until whenever I get round to announcing the results to vote!

The Champion - Dusty Springfield

 

 

The Challenger - Flowered Up

 

Part One

 

Part Two

Easily Dusty.

I love Dusty - but Flowered Up is an all-time classic, too, and it's influenced many a tune since (and many a lyric, too). 'Weekender' for me.

Went with Dusty again...

Weekender, baby! Proper tuneage! :cheer: :cheer:

Son of a Preacher Man

Dusty for me

Weekender by miles - bah, it's miles behind.
