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 will be revealed on or about 8 days later.
Tossing my zany “For the
Birds” theme to the wind this time, I’ve selected love songs that (hopefully)
get the point across without actually using the word LOVE to compete in today’s
battle. If you’re wondering, that was tougher than you might think, but
still a fun challenge. Let me know what you think.
Hope you all enjoyed Valentine’s Day!
“Love makes your
soul crawl out from its hiding place” ~ Zora Neale Hurston.
If anyone could coax a soul out of hiding, it was Country Music icon Toby Keith. Since his passing last week, l should go out and buy his music all over again. Just to make sure I have it.
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)
Thanks in advance, everyone! Enjoy the rest of February. I'll be back with the results in a few days.
Both songs are new to me. I think Toby's song and style is a closer fit to my ears in this battle. :) I don't have a battle running today, so you don't have to worry about hopping over to my place...unless you just miss me. lol Have a bandtastic day!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Of course I miss you, my dear! I also very much enjoy your posts; 15th or not ;-) So I'll hop over any way. A vote for Toby - thank you, Ma'am.
DeleteIt's always sad when someone dies before their time. RIP Toby Keith! 🌹 Both songs are new to me, but I'm voting for Toby. He had a better voice, and I preferred the melody also.
ReplyDeleteHi, Debbie! Yeah, Toby put up quite the fight with cancer before he left. I'm glad we'll have his music to remind us. I've been a fan since he first made the scene, so I'm kind of biased. Still, I think Brett is pretty good too ;-) Thanks for your vote for Toby.
DeleteI prefer Toby because the other guy's voice is a bit too Lasalle for me and it is that typical style one now heats everywhere a la American Idol. Toby left too soon
ReplyDeleteHi Birgit! "Lasalle"? I'm gonna have to look that up - ha! But I think I get your point ;-) Another vote for Toby - thank you, Ma'am.
DeleteHowdy, dIEDRE ~
ReplyDeleteBrett Young -- Christian, born in my old stomping grounds of Orange County, and a baseball guy, too! I felt like I *should* be voting for him. But, alas, I liked the TOBY KEITH song a bit better.
After listening to them both, I turned to my brother, Judge Al Bondigas, and I said, "I preferred the first song".
And Judge Al said, "Me too".
So, I think you can count that as a "rulin'", and you can count my opinion as a "vote".
I hope you're doing OK
down Tucson-way.

Howdy, Stephen! Thanks for moseying on over with two (much appreciated) nods for Toby Keith ;-)
DeleteRight as rain in July, my friend. Glad for the warmth of some overdue sunshine.
Google is being stupid and won't let me comment as myself, even though I'm signed in and accessed from my blog to yours.
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo... I'm voting for Toby Keith. For so many reasons... too many to count!

Thanks, Mary! Another much appreciated vote for Toby Keith who seemed to just have a knack for putting a few events in my life to music too ;-)
