This round pitted Detroit rockers Frijid Pink against
California singer/songwriter/band The White Buffalo.

They were running neck and neck for awhile and it was a tough choice for me, as I love both versions. I still have the original Frijid Pink 45, purchased while visiting my grandparents in Germany in 1970. It’s a classic “crank it up, roll down the windows, slam your foot on the accelerator and barrel down the highway” kind of tune that makes me feel so alive! On the other hand, White Buffalo’s version gave me goose bumps from the first line (that incredible baritone!) and stirred all my emotions. Not only that, it led me to Sons of Anarchy, which became one of my favourite TV shows of all time. Read more about that HERE. For these reasons, my vote goes to The White Buffalo.
AND THE WINNER IS:
THE WHITE BUFFALO
By a margin of 15.8%
This was my first experience as a participant of Battle of the Bands and I loved it!
Thanks to everyone who took the time to vote and comment.
Hopefully, as time goes on and we get to know each other better, the turnout will increase.
Here’s the winner once again, but with a different video, showing scenes from Sons of Anarchy:

I’m going to check out “Sons of Anarchy”. There is just too much good drama available. You picked an interesting battle of the bands. I’m looking forward to your next one.
That was a close battle! I liked both versions, though I voted for the second (the winner:). However, I can easily see this one going both ways.
Look forward to whatever you’ve got planned for the 1st!
Hi Debbie. Wow, I loved your battle. All of the versions were so interesting – loved the history you provided!
Honestly, I don’t think I left a message even tough I used to vote tool. I can’t remember who I voted for this time. Next time I’ll do better!!! Glad you joined. See you on June 1st.
Hi Shady; I had a hard time choosing, because I’m a “pedal to the metal” type from waaaay back. 😀 Emotional response won out, this time. Glad you enjoyed the post. I’m loving BOTB! You have a great weekend, too. Cheers!
I’ve never seen that show but heard good things about it. I’m so familiar with the original version of the song, it was fun to hear another take on it.
It’s completely riveting, Nick and the soundtrack is fantastic! 😀 Did you see the original battle? There was a hard rock version by Frijid Pink, as well. Thanks for dropping by and have a good weekend. Cheers!
Hey Debbie, great debut. There is never really a ‘bad’ BATTLE. Everyone has their own taste and the votes in these certainly reflect that. If there is one thing I know for sure about BOTB it’s that ‘I know nothing!’ Glad to have you on board. see ya again on June 1.
Glad you enjoyed my inaugural post, FAE. I’m loving this so far and have already written the next one. 😀 Yes, it all comes down to matter of taste. It was interesting to see that one battle had a unanimous decision; surprising! Thanks for starting this fun blogfest. See you soon.
I love your pie chart!! Very cool. Glad you had fun. Now we just have to keep coming up with good battles. The pressure is on… 🙂
That pie chart is part of the same website that generated the polling widget. It is pretty cool, for sure. I’m loving this so far and can’t wait for the next one! It’s already written. 😀 Have a good weekend!
Lol. You sure are pumped up about this! I bet you’ll have the next 5 battles written up by the time we hit June 1st! 🙂
Happy weekend!
The important thing here is, you had fun with this. It appears to be quite the undertaking.
Happy T.G.I.F.
Music is one of my biggest passions and I’m loving this BOTB blogfest, Myke. 😀 I also love graphics, as you can see, so it’s all great fun. Thanks for dropping by. Have a good weekend!
DEBBIE ~
That was a pretty tight race and a heckuva debut BOTB installment. You even turned me on to my NEW favorite version of this classic song, so THANKS for that!
I’m glad you enjoyed BOTB and I look forward to your next Battle on June 1st.
