It is Summertime and haven't spent much time blogging. However, here I am with another Battle of the Bands.
Let's try to continue those summer vibes with ABBA...
The Song "Summer Night City"
Let's get weird with contender one
Therion
Contender Two:
Swedish Hitz Goes Metal

Therion's cover was decidedly weird. That's why I like it. Therion!
I was wondering what had happened to you. Glad to see you're okay.
I don't recall ever having heard this song. It might be on the Abba box set I own, but it's one I've apparently forgotten or never heard.
These metal versions are actually preferable to me than the original.
Swedish Hitz was too fast and frantic. The Therion version seems more appropriately paced to me. So that's my vote for Therion.

Tossing It Out
I love ABBA and you chose one that is not on their top 10 list. I didn't like the frenetic style of the 2nd one so i choose Therion. It works because I find ABBA odd in that they have big hits and you wouldn't think they would be. Therion gets my vote
Mike,
I don't remember this ABBA song. I really like the covers you used in this battle which are very different from the original. Therion seemed a bit dark sounding at the slower tempo. They did a good job but I think my vote is going with Swedish Hitz. Their version while faster gave me the energy needed to get going this morning. Have a boogietastic week, my friend!

Mike,
I could've sworn I voted in this battle but I don't see my comment. Do you care to check your spam folder to see if I landed there. I pretty sure I gave my vote to Swedish Hitz. I hope all is well with you. Have a bandtastic day!
