You got the love
Young hearts run free
Rather be an old mans sweetheart
I'm just a prisoner

Verve

Lucky man
Bittersweet symphony
Space and time
Love is noise
The drugs don't work

A luke-warm poll with some great songs winning the contests, unfortunately several artists virtually ignored in the scoring. A couple of drawn contests. The Verve, Beck, Clannad, B52's, Candi Staton in that order were the most popular polls

I've endeavoured to feature at least one favourite band/artist of our participants in the next poll so i expect a better turnout this time

Wasn't a fan in the 70's, i suppose it was not cool for a bloke to be into boy singers at that time

Memories of last years holiday in Cornwall as four of us enjoyed a Cassidy compilation on our return journey home

More nominations for the 70's crooner to come from Mrs 64 & I
