Dis week it woz down to our pal ...Tucker (aka bvfeyj) to make da decishun. So let's see how it went! Here was da entries for dis week:
@fizzlebear chose She Bangs The Drum by The Stone Roses Why? From Stone Poneys to Stone Roses and I'm sure it's a different drum she's banging!!
@tartan_terriers chose In my arms by Teddy Thompson. Why? Cos Teddy an Linda Ronstadt are both on the Brokeback Mountain soundtrack, also Teddys mum, Linda Thompson is a close friend of Linda Ronstadt.
@bvfeyj (Tucker) chose Doctor, My Eyes by Jackson Browne. Why? Cuz he toured wif Linda Ronstadt and Joni Mitchell when he was promoting da album Jackson Browne dat da song was from and Linda Ronstadt recorded some ob his songs for her albums. Also it was his first major hit dat he recorded like Different Drum was for Linda Ronstadt.
@diamondbertie chose Those Were The Days by Mary Hopkins Why? Coz of somfink I said bout the linky last week.
@kelsoterrier chose Distant Drums by Jim Reeves. Why? Because of the obvious similarity of the song titles and also because Linda Ronstadt and Jim Reeves also had other similar sounding hit singles with Bill Bayou (Jim Reeves) and Blue Bayou (Linda Ronstadt).
@borderpup chose a stonking great hit! Hotel California by the Eagles. Why? Because, like Linda Ronstadt who sang with the Stone Poneys, they started their career at the Troubador Club in LA. Simples. ;-)
