Aretha Franklin - Respect [ 8 ] [57.14%]

Madonna - Ray of Light [ 6 ] [42.86%]

 

The Queen of Soul beats out the Queen of Pop so who better to take on the current champ than a Prince (Charming!). Here is Adam and the Ants with Stand and Deliver, a glorious #1 from 1981.

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

The Champion - Aretha Franklin

 

 

The Challenger - Adam and the Ants

 

stand and deliver is the perfect pop song.... :)

Aretha :wub:

Adam & ants

oops too late, voted stand and deliver, influenced by a weston carnival VHS from 1991

 

it was used for a float

Stand and Deliver - Adam and the Ants

Stand And Deliver is a great pop song, but I'm still going with Respect

Aretha gets my vote.

 

If it had been Prince Charming, Ant Music or Dog Eat Dog then my vote would have been different.

Voted for Stand and Deliver.

surely stand and deliver is marginally adams best moment?..

 

dah diddly qua qua...:lol:

 

my fav adam is kings of the wild fronteer.

Oh I could have chosen anyone from a number of Ant tracks.

 

Kings of the Wild Frontier was brilliant. Then there was Dog Eat Dog, Prince Charming, Friend or Foe, Goody Two Shoes, Deutscher Girls, Cartrouble, the list goes on....
