BOTB October 2023 Results

 



Contenders and votes for the October Battle of the Bands:

Survivor Eye of the Tiger   votes - 2

Creedence Clearwater Revival Up Around the Bend - 7


Once again, my friends, I seem to have misjudged the outcome. As long as everyone was sufficiently inspired into positivity, I'm okay with that ;-)  




Since my telepathic powers seem to be "For the Birds" these days, here's a hint as to what I'll be doing for upcoming battles and a theme song to keep me on track ;-)  *No, there won't be any cartoons.



Don't forget to stop by to check the results of the other battles (top right sidebar). That's where I'm headed next.

BOTB October 2023

 

Hey, hi! Glad you stopped by ;-)

The Battle of The Bands (BOTB) is your basic Which-do-you-like-best contest where the one that gets the most votes wins. All you have to do is show up (the 1st and/or 15th of every month) give a listen and cast your vote in the comment section. Votes will be tallied, and the winner revealed on or about 8 days later.

It’s International Music Day! Universal Music Day is next Saturday. I don’t mind two celebrations, do you?

So, in my never-ending search for any and all things interesting, like on this day in history, Marvel published the first Alice Cooper comic book! And, it’s Julie Andrews’ birthday today – the same day that thirteen-year-old Judy Garland signed with MGM - I discovered the longest-running sound system in Jamaican history called Merritone Music. I’m still not exactly sure what they do, but they’ve been doing it for a long, long time ;-)

I was determined to come up with an unusual, yet uplifting battle that might even get our toes tapping. Thanks to Merritone Music, I found my first contender right away. But had to go to plan B when something went wrong with video uploads.  I figure these two will inspire at least a little positivity ;-)

First up: Creedence Clearwater Revival

There you have it, folks! Which do you like best? And how come? Let me know in the comment section below. Oh! And, before you go, hop around and see the rest of today’s battles (participating sites are located in the top right sidebar of this page)
