Showdown Song Tournament: Battle of the Male Solo Artists

That came on the radio yesterday when I was taking the pups for a ride. I cranked it with no shame

Cranking one off to Steve Perry would give me immense shame, cricket is clearly a better man than I

Nominations are CLOSED!

BATTLE ONE will be posted shortly...

By the way, I'm glad to see Steve Perry, George Harrison, and Peter Gabriel in this race! This is gonna be good!

Mojo - could we not have shorter rounds? that's nigh on 2 hours worth of songs to listen to. I'll not get that listened to in a 24 hour period. Just saying

Don't worry about the 24 hour window.

I'll keep it open until all votes are in.

yeah, it was quite laborious to listen to all those songs. I would divide it in two separate blocks but you cannot save drafts here so you need to do it all in one turn

Bryan Adams - Cuts Like a Knife VS. Peter Gabriel - More than this another hard one to vote on

Bob Seger - Still the Same VS. Marvin Gaye - I'll Be Doggone * Alt. Link Love Seger, but, I'll be doggone

Rag 'n' Bone Man - Lay My Body Down VS. Frank Ocean - Swim Good really love the somber tones of Rag n Bone Man

Frank Ocean - Golden Girl VS. Bryan Adams - The Only Thing that Looks Good on Me is You Don't remember this Adams song; pretty solid

Frank Ocean - There Will Be Tears VS. Peter Gabriel - In Your Eyes This nearly went with Gabriel, always liked this song but Ocean had something a little more

NF - Motivated VS. Lou Reed - Strawman Lou Reed, my man

NF - Therapy Session VS. Peter Gabriel - Solsbury Hill this is like THE song when you talk about Gabriel

If you look at the image in the video, (see the screenshot below). it has the album cover on the left side of the screen, and the right side of the screen has the song title, the artist's name, and the album title. Also, the uploader is usually either the artist's name or the music company's name with the word "Topic" after their name.

BATTLE ONE

NF - Notepad VS. George Harrison - Crackerbox Palace

George Harrison - This Song VS. Steve Perry - Oh Sherrie

Bryan Adams - Cuts Like a Knife VS. Peter Gabriel - More Than This

Bob Seger - Still the Same VS. Marvin Gaye - I'll Be Doggone (Two great songs. It's a shame one of them has to go so early.)

Rag 'n' Bone Man - Lay My Body Down VS. Frank Ocean - Swim Good

Lou Reed - Perfect Day VS. Steve Perry - Strung Out (I love Steve Perry's voice, but I liked the Lou Reed song better than the Steve Perry song.)

Frank Ocean - Golden Girl VS. Bryan Adams - The Only Thing that Looks Good on Me is You (I liked the Frank Ocean song a lot until it got to the rap part at the end of the song. I like Bryan Adams, and I would have voted for most of his other songs over it, but I don't like that specific Bryan Adams song.)

Frank Ocean - There Will Be Tears VS. Peter Gabriel - In Your Eyes

NF - Motivated VS. Lou Reed - Strawman

NF - Therapy Session VS. Peter Gabriel - Solsbury Hill

Frank Ocean - We All Try VS. George Harrison - Blow Away (I liked both songs. I had to listen to them twice to decide which way to vote.)

Bob Seger - Sunspot Baby VS. Marvin Gaye - Can I Get A Witness

Marvin Gaye - What's Going On VS. Peter Gabriel - Red Rain (I might have voted for the Peter Gabriel song if it was up against a different song, but that Marvin Gaye song is one of his best songs.)

Bob Seger - Her Strut VS. Rag 'n' Bone Man - Life In Her Yet

Lou Reed - Vicious VS. Rag 'n' Bone Man - As You Are (I've never heard of Rag 'n' Bone Man before, but I like him a lot.)


On a side note, there were 30 songs in this set, and none of them were my noms. I knew the randomizer was bad sometimes, but I didn't think it was that bad.
