Battle of the Bands: Good Rocking Tonight

If you visit my blog sometimes there is some Good Rocking going on. Tonight that is the case.

I'll pick a song and share a video with the original artist or someone who made the song famous. Then I pick two contenders to battle it out to see whose cover is best. Who decides the winner? You do when you vote in the comments.

If you like these battles. Check out the other ones going on. This site has the most up to date list of Battles.

I will confess I had not heard the original version of this song until tonight. It is the song "Good Rocking Tonight" by Roy Brown. Going back to early rock way back from 1947..

The original isn't in the contest. However, the next two will be open for your voting pleasure.

Contestant One: Montrose

Contestant Two: Lemmy Kilmister & Johnny Ramone

There are so many versions of this song. Tonight I wanted to take this song on  rocking ride. I am glad you joined me on the adventure. Vote in the comments and we will see who wins.
