Battle of the Bands: Mr Blue Sky

 Spring begins later this month. That reason helped me with picking ELO's "Mr. Blue Sky" as the song for this month's Battle of the Bands.

Above is the original for reference. The battle works by me selecting two (sometimes more) covers. You my readers tell me which one you liked the best (or hated least) in the comments. Then I count the votes and post a winner in a week or so. (Sometimes I take my sweet time on that post.)  

Contender One: Pomplamoose

 

                                                       Contender Two: Weezer

                                                                           

There you have it! Let me know which cover you like best. Thanks for visiting may your day be filled with Blue Skies!

                                                                              

Monday's Music Moves Me: Songs with Male Names

Last week was so much fun! I'm back for more.



I'm stealing the above switch, because sometimes it is so true. Sometimes you just have to turn the switch on.

Today's theme is songs with male names. I'm not going to try to get them all. I will highlight a few and encourage you to visit the other participants for more.

"Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner" Warren Zevon

"Uncle John's Band" The Grateful Dead. So many from that band to use Tennessee Jed, Casey Jones, St. Stephen to name a few...

"Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" Paul McCartney and Wings

Led Zeppelin "Boogie with Stu"

Led Zeppelin "Poor Tom"

Jimi Hendrix "Hey Joe"

Lynyrd Skynyrd "The Ballad of Curtis Loew" 

 

Eight is enough.."Buddy Holly" Weezer

Stay tunes for tomorrow's Battle of the Bands post for more music!
