I kinda find that triple-threat verse thing going on in the Bo Diddley track, with the main vocal line, followed by the c-a-d-i-l-l-a-c, followed by the sax line, a bit annoying. It just doesn't sit right.
B is okay and doesn't have a sax solo.

Well, B is chanelling all sorts of sounds from the past few of decades, but it's done with a clarity of purpose and confidence that i admire. It's meant to be brash and in your face and proud, and i think it manages that. Nice pick. The problem it faces however is that i just don't like it as much as the Bo tune.

Both very good. B is one of the picks of the cup for me. It reminds me of Yazoo. I love that pussy-willow texture of the synth.

Very much a lesser Diddley for me, and songs about cars are generally a pffft! sub-genre for me, unless you include Jan and Dean's Schlock Rod. The sax solo is OK, but doesn't really fit in with the rest of the song. And yet another alien sound made by remastering an analogue recording 4/10
Blimey, this is very yazoo in its burbly synth sound - wasn't expecting that. I bought that album DF mentions that was released as Anthony and the Johnsons, and played it a lot in the noughties, although the vocals were often over-wrought and excessively Simone-ish at times. Here though, a joyous bit of throwback pop, chanelling Alison Moyet rather than Nina, yep, like this - that's two in two ties that are new to me and I enjoyed, and there haven't been two I could say that of in total in any previous round. Things are looking up a bit. 6/10

The Bo is ok but Anthony’s voice is horrible, I’ve never been able to get on with it.

Prefer the BD track, but a more interesting pick... Sure. Glad DF got a win. He needs it.
