Now the dust has settled, I just wanted to say hi and thanks to everyone who took part and tried to police the "most widely loved sound" thread. I had no idea it would turn into such a monster.

I hope you found it as interesting and stimulating as I did. I think that most people followed the spirit of it very well. I think we'd agree that here and there the odd ego got in the way, but it's understandable and forgiveable.

With hindsight, I suspect we may never find a single sound that unites us - although I think that both Spyder Turner and Jerry Williams came mighty close! On a personal note, I was betting on the Salvadors winning through. I've never met a single soul who didn't love that powerhouse.

Suspect it may have run it's course now. Be interested to hear any other considered reflections. Anyway thanks again for "getting it"!

Best wishes

I was hoping for the Salvadors, too-as it's my personal all time favorite song and to me a "perfect" specimen of northern soul.

I though this had finished! Squash Salvadors and nominate Willie Hutch ' Love Runs Out'

I squash your Willie Hutch and propose "Peace Not Punch Ups" by The Kentucky Fried Citizens.

I'll get me coat...

"Peace Not Punch Ups" by The Kentucky Fried Citizens.

Got that one on a deep fried demo on the Oily Free Radicals label.

Really enjoyed the thread, even though taking part in it jeapordised my bollox rating on SSCDT Amazed that Toby Legend didn't win it myself, but would happily go along with Jerry Williams ;-)
