This past year was not too bad for me personally, but generally speaking it was a bit of a mess for the world. What is this world coming to? Where will we go next? Will we have a Superman to come and save us?
Battle of the Bands
Battle of the Bands is the blogging event started by Far Away Series and now hosted by StMcC Presents Battle of the Bands. This event happens each month on the 15th and on some there is also a Battle on the 1st of the month. My blog is one of those with a second Battle excepting over these summer months. The premise is simple: Listen to the songs presented below and then in the comments vote for your favorite and tell us why you liked it. Then visit the links listed near the bottom of this post for more Battle action.
Waiting for Superman
Seems like a lot of people are waiting for a "superman" to come save their day so it makes sense that there would be several songs about this modern mythical hero. Here are two variations on this theme as presented by two different modern rock artists. I was familiar with one song while the other was new to me. Can you guess which was which? Did you know either of these songs?
Each song has a pretty good video that helps illuminate the lyrics so you might want to pay attention to each. When voting for your favorite song then maybe you can also vote for your favorite video. But please do let us know which song you like the best.
Daughtry "Waiting for Superman" (2013)
If you were an American Idol fan in 2006 you might recall Chris Daughtry. I was rooting for him that season, but he didn't make the top three. However he went on to music stardom. His self-named band released this Superman song in 2013.
Don't just sit there waiting for Superman. Celebrate the New Year with us by voting on this Battle. Which of these songs do you prefer? Battles are no fun without you the reader participating. Hopefully you have an opinion of some kind. You don't have to know about music to have an opinion since it all comes down to your own personal taste.
Please vote on your favorite by letting us know your choice in the comment section and tell us why you prefer the version you chose. Then after you've finished here, please visit the other blogs listed below who may or may not be participating this time around. And if you've put up your own BOTB contest let us know that as well so we can vote on yours. I don't know if anyone else will be doing a Battle this time around, but you can still check out these sites.
Here are some other places where you might find BOTB posts:
