I had never heard of the Georgia Satellites before, but I just listened to "Keep Your Hands To Yourself" and that's enough for me to cast my vote for them!

That song is a one-hit wonder, and it's better than anything Fleetwood Mac ever did.

It's a bit of an unfair battle, though, since the Georgia Satellites are fairly unknown in this day and age. You almost never hear them or about them anymore, whereas Fleetwood Mac plays on the radio fairly often and is pretty widely-known even among the non-musical community.

I'm also jealous of Dan Baird's teeth.

Good old classic American southern rock sometimes can't be beat, and the Georgia Satellites could pull off that sound like no one else in the 80's could.

It's bands like the Satellites that make me proud to live in this country, and sometimes even make me wish I lived in the Deep South. There's just nothing fun or natural about Fleetwood Mac, and that is why my vote this round goes to the good ol' boys known as the Georgia Satellites.

Daycee is right, I'll be changing the battle soon. Most likely on Saturday, since I'm not going to be on tomorrow. But with more votes, might as well update the score:
________________________________________________

Current 'Battle of the Bands' round :

4 - Fleetwood Mac
-VS.-
3 - Georgia Satellites
________________________________________________ (I like this score format, Daycee ;)    )

Update time! That battle was very much a bust, so lets wrap it up. ________________________________________________

4 - Fleetwood Mac
-VS.-
3 - Georgia Satellites
________________________________________________

Alright then. Our new battle is:

Cat Stevens vs. Jackson Browne

Cat Stevens:
Wild World
Where Do The Children Play
Miles From Nowhere

Jackson Browne:
Running On Empty
Tender Is The Night (Audio/ visual is off)
Boulevard

Let the battle being.

Also, I'm sure Ilberic is tired of being the only person suggesting battles. If you have a battle, please put your suggestion on either mine or Mrdaycee's profile.

I thought it was implied, but reasoning is needed with your votes. Please add reasoning for your votes to count you two.

It seems like this particular battle isn't drawing that much attention to the ArmorGames users as we might want to... =/

Let's hope for the best and it will be getting better within the next couple of days! =)

Some new ideas for battles are already filed, so continuance of the thread is secured! ;)

Cat Stevens is so calming and nice lyrics. But he's not Cat Stevens anymore. His name is Yusuf Islam.

I am going to vote for Jackson Browne.

I can listen to just about anything he does at anytime.  Nothing fancy at all, just straightforward in what he does, but he does THAT very very well.  I am actually a bit disappointed in myself for not getting into him sooner.  I had a chance to see him live..  for free..  and went out of town to an Irish Music festival instead (still can't believe that myself). 

Cat Stevens had some nice music, but some of it actually just drains excitement out of me if I listen to it for too long.  In other words, I only like him in small doses.

My vote - Jackson Browne

(if I can keep coming up with new battles, I don't mind being the only "supplier".  But that's one of the reasons I handed over the controls for this thread..  I was drawing blanks.  Just recently I came up with some decent ones though, lol)
