OLD TIME ROCK 'N ROLL TOURNAMENT

Warren Zevon - Desperadoes Under the Eaves VS. Like a Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan

Have always loved that song.

Rolling Stones-Heart of Stone VS. Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar on Me

Sugar is ok but this is no contest for me.

Three Dog Night-The Show Must Go On VS. John Mellencamp - Ain't Even Done With The Night

But I do love some Mellencamp.

Eagles - One Of These Nights VS. Stories - Brother Louie

That's one of my favorite songs by The Eagles, and I f***in' love The f***in' Eagles man.

All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix VS. Bruce Springsteen - Dancing in the Dark

A little over played but I never got into the other.

Jethro Tull-Hymn 43 VS. Van Morrison - Wild Night

Love Tull and I never got into Morrison's solo stuff.

Bob Seger - We've Got Tonight VS. Stone Temple Pilots - Plush

Seger rules but not in this match.

Donovan - Hurdy Gurdy Man VS. Layla - Derek and the Dominos

Love both but I think Layla won before.

Waiting on @John-Connor to vote on DAY 6


DAY 7 is on the way...

ROUND 1 DAY 7

Them-Here Comes the Night VS. Styx - Too Much Time On My Hands
Classic song.

The Who - Behind Blue Eyes VS. Walk This Way - Aerosmith
I don't like The Who - except for this song. I love this song.

Los Bravos-Black is Black VS. Jimi Hendrix - Foxy Lady
Both are great, just feeling this one a little more right now.

Stevie Nicks & Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Stop Draggin' My Heart Around VS. The Smashing Pumpkins - 1979
I DESPISE Stevie Nicks. Her voice just straight up makes me angry. But Tom Petty is my all-time favorite and I don't care for the Pumpkins.

David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust VS. War - Low Rider
Never was a Bowie fan.

The Rolling Stones - Start Me Up VS. Against the Wind - Bob Seger
Both great but Seger's a little greater.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Here Comes My Girl VS. The Beatles - I Saw Her Standing There
Tom Petty > Everyone Else

Harry Nilsson - Jump Into The Fire VS. Crosby, Stills, and Nash-Southern Cross
Not crazy about either.

Hi everyone!

ROUND 1 DAY 7

Them-Here Comes the Night VS. Styx - Too Much Time On My Hands
I couldn't get into the first one. The second is a badass tune by Styx

The Who - Behind Blue Eyes VS. Walk This Way - Aerosmith
The Who ain't got nothing on Aerosmith here

Los Bravos-Black is Black VS. Jimi Hendrix - Foxy Lady
Never really liked Black is Black, and Foxy Lady still gets me going everytime I hear it

Stevie Nicks & Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Stop Draggin' My Heart Around VS. The Smashing Pumpkins - 1979
Tough match! But even the Pumpkins would agree they don't hold a candle to Stevie and Tom together

David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust VS. War - Low Rider
Surprisingly this was an easy choice for me. Low Rider is a song you hear a lot but don't quite know it's title or who sings it. I'm glad I've finally found that out

The Rolling Stones - Start Me Up VS. Against the Wind - Bob Seger
Really tough match! I have a soft spot for that Bob Seger song ever since I watched Forrest Gump so I went with it

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Here Comes My Girl VS. The Beatles - I Saw Her Standing There
Tom has better songs than Here Comes My Girl. The Beatles prevail

Harry Nilsson - Jump Into The Fire VS. Crosby, Stills, and Nash-Southern Cross
Another tough match! I love that CSN song. Possibly my favorite by them. But Jump Into The Fire is too hard to resist. Harry Nilsson's vocals and the music on this song are just badass

Them-Here Comes the Night VS. Styx - Too Much Time On My Hands

Love both.

The Who - Behind Blue Eyes VS. Walk This Way - Aerosmith

Both great, but tired of both.

Los Bravos-Black is Black VS. Jimi Hendrix - Foxy Lady

Love both.

Stevie Nicks & Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Stop Draggin' My Heart Around VS. The Smashing Pumpkins - 1979

Tough call because that's one of my favorite duets.

David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust VS. War - Low Rider

Primo Bowie.

The Rolling Stones - Start Me Up VS. Against the Wind - Bob Seger

Rare for me to go against The Stones.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Here Comes My Girl VS. The Beatles - I Saw Her Standing There

Tough call.

Harry Nilsson - Jump Into The Fire VS. Crosby, Stills, and Nash-Southern Cross

I also quite like the first.

ROUND 1 DAY 7


Them-Here Comes the Night VS. Styx - Too Much Time On My Hands
never heard of Them, gonna have to look into -- well, Them even though I went with classic Styx

The Who - Behind Blue Eyes VS. Walk This Way - Aerosmith
Walk This Way gets played to death, and enjoy Blue Eyes far more

Los Bravos-Black is Black VS. Jimi Hendrix - Foxy Lady
Close, but --

Stevie Nicks & Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Stop Draggin' My Heart Around VS. The Smashing Pumpkins - 1979
not a Pumpkins fan

David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust VS. War - Low Rider
tough call

The Rolling Stones - Start Me Up VS. Against the Wind - Bob Seger
never cared for this Stones song

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Here Comes My Girl VS. The Beatles - I Saw Her Standing There
going with The Beatles

Harry Nilsson - Jump Into The Fire VS. Crosby, Stills, and Nash-Southern Cross
very few CSN songs I like and this is one of them

I was going to join in but couldn't figure out how to link up to the videos but I'm following. There are so many good songs nominated but there is one that stands out for me.

ROUND 1 DAY 7
Although I really think this is day 6. Maybe even day 5???? So many choices, so little math.

Will just put only my choices in, with a little commentary when I can.

1-Styx -TOO MUCH TIME ON MY HANDS

2- Aerosmith - WALK THIS WAY
Man, this was a tough one. Really like the Who and really like that song. And it seems like almost every song I submit faces stiff competition from another song I like. But I' m still going with my nom: Walk This Way, I think it's 'aged ' a little better, and it really rocks.


3- Jimi Hendrix - FOXY LADY

4-Smashing Pumpkins 1979



5-War LOW RIDER

6- Bob Seger - AGAINST THE WIND - still gives me chills - great melody, great lyrics.

7-Beatles -I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND

8- Crosby, Stills and Nash
SOUTHERN CROSS

ROUND 2 will be up shortly...
