For me it's Johnny Cash. The message in that song is pretty powerful

Day 2:

BTO You Aint Seen Nothing Yet:

Johnny Cash Man In Black:

BTO.

Johnny is fantastic, but this is song to song, not artist to artist.

Yes Sir that is exactly how it's supposed to be and why we may get a lot more mixed genres

I disagree, to me Johnny Cash is a guy who always made excuses for himself. That song says he wears black for others' plights? I feel bad for myself but will say I feel bad for others instead.

Okay if that's the message you got we all have opinions, to date BTO has a commanding lead at this point and to date there are not a lot of people voting I suspect this is a forgone conclusion

That's exactly how I see it too. Many have a connection with him that I've never had, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying a lot of his music for what it is... such as Folsom Prison Blues.

I like JC but BTO is better with this one.

Day 2:

BTO You Aint Seen Nothing Yet:

Johnny Cash Man In Black:

BTO. Best garage band of their day.
Not one of my favorite Johhny Cash songs.

My favorite Johnny Cash song is One Piece at time. It's whitty and fun

So I have decided what I am going to do in a effort to provide some sort of daily entertainment for the off season. Each day I will post two songs, they may be from the group, same genre, different groups, different genres, solo artists bands etc. I will attempt to do this early each day, poster should listen to each song and vote for which song advances. Even if you are familiar with the song I encourage you to listen and vote.

If there is a means for me to be able to edit a running thread for the purposes of tracking the winner that would be great. Also if you want to have songs entered into this just PM me two songs and I can make that happen. As we near spring training we will start having a run off of the winners and we ultimately reach a winner.

Day 1 Winner: Jackson Browne The Pretender
Day 2: Winner: BTO You Aint Seen Nothing Yet

Day Three:

Dire Straits: Industrial Disease

Allman Brothers: Whipping Post

Allman Brothers, though both of these seem like "B-Sides". For me the Industrial Disease seems like a rehash of their other stuff where Whipping Post sounds like a jam. I'll take the jam over the rehash.

Funny you say B Side. When I was in the Army many many many moons ago I use to make tapes or reels labeled B Side Tunes and would let them run while we partied. Eventually people were bringing me blank tapes or reels asking me to make them B sides. It's always been a thing with me, the music / radio / DJ industry would pick a song or two they like and make it mainstream all while ignoring often great or better songs.

But your vote makes sense to me too it's a great flippin tune

Agreed on the b side. I often liked the A side best at first but as the album settled into my play list, I often found I liked the a side better for listening.
There are a lot of great albums with great #1 songs that I just do not want to hear anymore!
I definitely heard too much "Free Bird" and "Stairway to Heaven" Just sayin"

Absolutely if I never heard those songs again it would be too soon

If I had never heard those songs my life would be far from incomplete...

Years ago I went to a Meatloaf concert and he started playing "You took the words right out of my mouth...." and all these couples stood up and started serenating each other. I had one of those "vomit in your mouth reactions".

Lets face it, we all don't have the same connections to the music we share...
