We went through a lot of songs to get to this moment. The final two. The soft survivors. Which song emerges at the ultimate soft rock song? Let's go......
The Doobie Brothers- What A Fool Believes. Written by Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins. Released in January 1979, from the album Minute by Minute. Peaked at number one on the US Billboard top 100 singles chart, and number 31 on the UK singles chart. It won both the Song of the Year, and Record of the Year Grammy awards in 1980.
10cc- I'm Not In Love. Written by Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman. Released in May 1975, from the album The Original Soundtrack. Peaked at number two on the US Billboard top 100 singles chart, and number one on the UK singles chart. It won three Ivor Novello awards in 1976 for Best Pop Song, International Hit Of The Year, and Most Performed British Work.

Difficult one can I have two votes, two different songs both worthy winners. I’ve decided 10cc it’s just ever so slightly better. Thanks Chippa for running the poll, it was very enjoyable.

I've stuck to my belief in the Doobies (but I wouldn't mind if it ended in a tie). Thanks for organising this, Chippa.

Both very worthy but 10cc gets my vote. I can imagine the recording tapes worn almost transparent just like when Jeff and Roy were doing ELO 1, can't resist.

a song that is basically just pre-chorus/chorus ... against a song without a chorus ...Brilliant
i am in awe at the songwriting of both ... i can't vote against either

Ohhhhh, that's such a tough choice... I almost abstained from voting. I really, really, really like I'm Not In Love... so maybe it's just my mood right now, but I voted for What a Fool Believes.
Thanks Chippa, loads of fun and I loved being introduced to some of the wonderful songs I hadn't yet heard of.
