Change the battle up to 4-3 because there's no way I can choose between the two, so I'm voting for both bands so they're both closer to winning. If that's not allowed then forget I was even here this round.

Foreigner, no doubt. Their music is what defines the classic rock genre. It combines all of the traits.

Wish I could say more, but there's really not much to add.

Foreigner does have the classic rock sound, and they stuck with it! Toto is a good band but it sounds like they could never decide on a sound of their own, so their music is a bit scattered all over the place... or so it sounds to me anyway!

THE OTHER MOD SPEAKS

Alright, time to cast my vote. I'm going to vote for Foreigner. I admit I'm far more familiar with Foreigner, but after listening to samples of Toto, I have to say that Foreigner just has a harder sound than Toto. Also, I think Toto embraced the 80's far, far more than Foreigner did. I may still check out more Toto in the future, but Foreigner gets my vote.

Also, Urgent is best song by Foreigner.

Score is now

I suppose a battle change should come soon. I didn't realize we let it run this long. I'll have a new one up within the next 1-3 days.

@ Light-Chaser I'll let your vote slide just because I'm changing the battle and there's no time for you to add to it, but in the future, please incorporate a reason with your vote. It's in the rules.

Anyways, this battle is coming to an end, with a final score of:


_____________________________________

3 - TOTO
-VS-
5 - FOREIGNER

Now to go back to the 60's for this next battle with two bands who were a helluva crazy. Ladys and Gentlemen:

Let the battle begin.


And the usual notice; if you have a battle you want to see here, feel free to suggest it on either Mrdaycee's or my profile. That is all.

I have to go with The who. Don't get me wrong, I adore the doors. Incredible doesn't sum them up - but The Who are one of my all time faovurite bands. Their music makes me swoon.

The Who have a wide variety of great songs that anyone can appreciate. Even decades later, it's hard to say that songs like "Won't Get Fooled Again", "Baba O'Riley" or "Who Are You" could be considered anything short of timeless.

The Doors have a few good songs, and Jim Morrison certainly was a character in his time, but it's truly an acquired taste that not everyone can easily appreciate. I also find myself wondering how famous they would be today if Jim Morrison were still around.

This is tough.

But in terms of sound, I like the experimentation The Doors did, with no bass and the keyboard, along with Jim's voice, they get my vote.

I have to go with The Who. Keith Moon's drumming is impeccable. Not only that, they had some great lyrics, and Roger Daltrey really delivered them well.

New battle and already some votes in! This is looking good people! Excellent!! =D

@ kj4qex : your reasoning is too thin to count your vote... sorry! Please provide a more elaborate reasoning than a mere song and we'll count it, ok? Thanx! =)

@ Ernie15 : I thiiiiink you're voting for The Who... right? If not, tell me and I'll change your vote for you, ok?

I'll cast my own vote right away as I've been slacking on my modding here a bit... thanx for picking up where I dropped it waluigi!

My vote will be for THE WHO! The doors are a legendary band with some awesome songs in their repertoire, but aside from that, the fact remains that the band has become so legendary because of their frontman Jim Morrison and his (to me stupid) death...
Granted, "Riders on the Storm" remains a truly awesome song, if only because of it's dark rythmic vibe, but The Who puts so many huge cannons up against it with a.o. "Baba O'Reilly", "Who Are You", "Pinball Wizard" and "My G-G-Generation", that The Doors are easily defeated in my opinion!
And even though "Tommy" was a little less, I can always, ALWAYS, listen to The Who, whereas The Doors become tiresome after a while...

So, with my personal vote counted, the score shows:
_____________________________________

5 - THE WHO
-VS-
1 - THE DOORS

_____________________________________

Allright, first score roundup! Let's keep it rolling and stretch it to a 10 vote win for one of the contestants, shall we?!

Keep those votes coming people!!! =D

I have to agree with that! They have a nice sound but it's hard to listen to them for more than a few songs!

The Who are one of the only bands I can actually listen to a whole album of without getting bored halfway through... I don't think it's possible to dislike a single one of their songs!
