I'll throw in my two cents worth and state a personal vote to try and liven up the place a little! =P
I completely understand why these two bands don't really relate to eachother in terms of sub-genre in Rock... but I decided to try and have them battle inside my head and every round, over and over, one band kept winning it and so my vote goes to Fleetwood Mac!!
Even though Georgia Satellites have theirselves some excellent feelgood southern country rock, that simply makes you want to grab that hat and rush out the door to go and have fun at a barn dance this instant... they just can't top the fabulous style of Fleetwood Mac!
If your talking about the early stages of the band, when they were still called "Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac", and they had a great mixture from rock songs like the mindblowing tempo-switcher "Oh Well" (personal favorite) to the worldwide known "Black Magic Woman" (yes, that song is NOT a Santana original!) and then move on to the later stages, where Green left the band, and they decided to set a course to create their own -more mellow pop- sound, which they have followed ever since... just listen to the awesome smoothness of "Little Lies" and the sweet 'swept away on a rainy day' -feeling of "Sara" (goose bumps allover!!)... and let's not forget the '**** Turpin' mixed with modern day -styled video for "Everywhere" of course! You just can't deny the sheer magnitude of this World Class band! And if you do deny this, then... well, that's your loss! =)
So, to make a first score count on the current battle, including my personal vote, we see:
________________________________________________
Current 'Battle of the Bands' round :
3 - Fleetwood Mac
-VS.-
0 - Georgia Satellites

Now let's get this show on the road people! For real this time! I'm serious!!! (o.O)
So, grab that computer and hammer those reasoned votes in here! Decide the faith of these bands and who's going to be declared the winner of this 'BotB' round!!
Decide! VOTE!!!
You can all Go Your Own Way but I gotta go with Fleetwood Mac because I got Big Love for Linsdey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. Also, it doesn't hurt that I was brought up listening to them. Just to reiterate my vote goes to Fleetwood Mac.
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! I've never liked Fleetwood Mac all that much, so it wasn't really a hard decision for me!
Oh my... oh my... it's been over a week since the last score round up and only two votes in?!?! (o.O)
I'll count them, even though your reasonings are pretty thin guys... I hope to see better in the future! =/
Second (and probably last) score count for this battle show us :
________________________________________________
Current 'Battle of the Bands' round :
4 - Fleetwood Mac
-VS.-
1 - Georgia Satellites

I'll be checking in with waluigi and debate on what battle is to be posted next, because this battle seems to have died pretty much!
So, stay tuned and check in soon for the new battle to arrive in the 'Battle of the Bands'!!! =D
The Georgia Satellites are a severely underrated band in my opinion. 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.
Fleetwood Mac isn't all that bad, but they aren't anything special either. I'm indifferent when it comes to their existence. It wouldn't matter to me if they were to just disappear forever.
I'm voting for the Georgia Satellites.

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:

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)
