I got this idea from Battle of the Bands. I do have permission to use XxLBJames23xX's idea, and he will help moderate.

Okay, it's pretty straight forward, I or XxLBJames23xX will post different songs in the same manner as Battle of the Bands, and you will vote on them. However, to speed things up, you will vote to 5, instead of 10.

Rules:
No Spam. Your spam will not count. The rules on spam are the same as AG.
Do not posts songs that you would like to have on here, post on my or XxLBJames23xX's profile.

Okay, my musical vocabulary is somewhat limited, so I'll post definite hits that I know of.

First Battle:

TNT by AC/DC vs. Master of Puppets by Metallica

Afterlife

I'm more of an Avenged Sevenfold fan than AC/DC anyway. Just like the style more.

So, yeah. Just checking up on this thread. I am a mod after all, not just a normal voter. I just decided to take a vacation from moderating this thread.

Fire Your Guns-5
Afterlife-2

So, yeah, Fire Your Guns wins. I'm not in charge of the tournament, so that would be it, so....
Random Fact: When AC/DC had recorded The Razor's Edge, the album in which Fire Your Guns was on, they had a different drummer, named Chris Slade, than Phil Rudd, who was kicked out in 1983, then later joined in 1995. Thankfully, he's still in the group so I could see 1980 AC/DC tomorrow night.

Yup, next battle is:

Crazy Train vs. Don't Stop Believing

Do I really need to state the artists?

Uh, Don't Stop Believing by a thread. It is just as good as Crazy Train in a way, but it is more of a classic. The vocals are great.

I prefer Crazy Train, Don't Stop Believing is way overplayed. I'm just sick of it.

Don't Stop Believing

As I've said before, Crazy Train get's boring pretty fast.

Don't Stop Believing

Better song by a hair. I think that it is better.

Easily Don't Stop Believing.

For one, Steve Perry easily outsings Ozzy. Ozzy's allure is in the complete song (or the fact that he's just nuts), and personally this song is probably my least favorite popular song by him. After "all aboard.. ha ha ha" and the initial rift I change the song. I'd much prefer to listen to No More Tears (or anything off of that album).

As far as Don't Stop Believing being overplayed... Crazy Train is falling into what I call "Pretty Woman Syndrome". This is simply the fact that if you hear that a Roy Orbison song is coming on the radio, you could be your paycheck that it's going to be Pretty Woman, even though he's had many many hits. Same thing is happening to Ozzy. Crazy Train is becoming the go to song for him, and it shouldn't be because he has many many better offerings.

Steve Perry just had an amazing voice and this song is one of my favorites by Journey.
