Do you sometimes look back upon your life and think "I should write an autobiography"? Or think of some period of your life that might be good material for a memoir? Maybe you should write it. Maybe I should too. It's my life after all. And that sounds like a cue for...
Battle of the Bands
Battle of the Bands is the blogging event started by Far Away Series and StMcC Presents Battle of the Bands. I do this event each month on the 15th and the 1st of the month. 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.
It's My Life
This song originally by the English New Wave/Synth Pop movement band Talk Talk was a big favorite of mine back in the eighties and the band produced music that I continue to enjoy to this day. Talk Talk did not achieve the recognition that I think they deserved, but "It's My Life" did reasonably well on the world wide charts. Years later the bigger rock group No Doubt released their excellent version to even greater chart success. I think they are both good. Which one do you like best?
Talk Talk "It's My Life" (1984)
No Doubt "It's My Life" (2003)
Time to Vote!
It's your life, but put some fun in it by voting on this Battle. Which song interpretation 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:
