----
Beastie Boys - They're my FAVORITE.
Foghat - I prefer the shorter version, but it's nice to hear the bass solo.
Little Caesar - I really liked this song. I think if I were more familiar with it then I would place it higher on my list.
Paul McDemrott - He had a sweet voice, and there's a standup bass!
Kenny Wayne Sheppard - It started strong, but it lost my interest. I stopped listening at some point.
Ladi6 - Better than I thought it would be. I didn't like the electronic instruments so much.
Sublime - eh
Beedie - Just stop. I have no problem with rap music or white rappers, but he's trying too hard to be something he's not.

Kenny Wayne Sheppard - Oh yeah, KWS plays a mean guitar.
Little Caesar - I had forgotten about these guys. Surprisingly good.
Foghat - A great classic that still holds up (as long as I don't hear it constantly on the radio). The "breakdown" goes on a bit long, though.
Beastie Boys - Not a great Beastie song, but still a good song.
Ladi6 - An ok song. It had some nice parts, but didn't really hold my interest.
Beedie - It had a nice beat and I could dance to it.
Sublime - It was ok. I'm not really a Sublime fan.
Paul McDermott - Blandly boring.

Little Caesar - (a touch of Captain Beyond in the night)

Paul McDermott - Easily my favorite of the batch. I'm a sucker for vocal harmonies. Add an upright bass and an accordion and I'm there.

Little Caesar - Love the nice bluesy sound to this one.

Foghat - good straight up classic rock

Ladi6 - I'm not going to go around making everyone I know listen to it, but I kind of liked it.

Kenny Wayne Shepherd - Decent song, on the heavier side for me but I can appreciate it.

Sublime - Interesting reggae beat drives this one along, but I could take or leave the rest of the song.

Beastie Boys - Rappy bits somewhat redeemed by some fun instrumental bits, but still ain't going to be my thing.

Beedie - Also not my thing and fewer redeeming bits.

Lotta rap in this match!

1) Foghat. I'm a fool for Foghat and this is one of their best. The irony is; when I hear this while driving, my adrenaline surges and I have to consciously avoid speeding.

2) Little Caesar - What a great find!

3) Kenny Wayne Shepherd - This song is what triggered my decision to look for other songs with this title.

4) Ladi6 - I enjoyed this.

5) Beastie Boys - I heard a sound bite of these guys dissing Rush and anybody who likes Rush. It's been hard to warm up to them since.

6) Beedie - This wasn't too bad.

7) Sublime - Neither was this.

8) Paul McDermott and Band - I could appreciate the talented harmonizing, but not something I generally enjoy listening to.

Wow, I just read everyone's votes, and I seem to be in the minority with Little Caesar which I totally thought lacked the oomph in that type of song.

Foghat – Ahhhh, memories of first love and this song go hand in hand for me. From that opening drum beat, which is not much, but you know what song is gonna be played. Lonesome Dave and crew are in fine form on their best song ever.
Sublime - Always loved this song
Kenny Wayne Shepherd – This is what Little Caesar should have done, This songs has got some Cojones!
Paul McDermott – Is there anything as pretty as a doo wop styled song with minimalistic instrumentation.
Beastie Boys –Love the percussion and the sampling of Low Rider.
Little Caesar – Almost decent bluesy song with rough vocals but not a lot else. The song kind of muddles along when it should get ballsier.
Ladi6 – WTF!
Beedie – WTF pt 2

That's weird. I thought they liked Rush. I wonder if they were joking around, since they're rarely serious in interviews.

I could enjoy listening to at least 6 of these on a regular basis, maybe even 7 of them. One of the better groups of songs, thanks!

1- Kenny Wayne Shepherd- Driving, complex, first rate. I like it a lot.
2- Paul McDermott & Band- It ain't really rock (at least rock from the last 50 years), but it IS really excellent. What a pleasant surprise.
3- Sublime- I needed that this morning! Mellow.
4- Little Caesar- Party music!
5- Foghat- The intro always perks up my music sense.
6- Beastie Boys- This was one of my son's favorites when he was small. Love/hate parent relationship with our children's music! Still, a good song.
7- Ladi6 featuring Invincible- Like her vote and the harmonies, don't like the arrangement at all.
8- Beedie- Deadest, dullest voice I can remember hearing, stock sounding mu-sick (not a misspelling). What a waste of time.

1) Paul McDermott - Very refreshing, smooth vocals and nice instrumentation.
2) Sublime - I have always loved the singers voice and they have a solid rhythm section.
3) Little Caesar - Dirty and fun.
4) Kenny Wayne Shepherd - It's ok, but not really my thing.
5) Foghat - a classic I have heard so much that I tend to tune it out.
6) Ladi6 feat Invincible - pretty good delivery, actually.
7) Beastie Boys - a song more recognizable for the sampling, really.
8) Beedie - Nah, no thanks. Out of tune and uninteresting.

While we wait for the numbers, here's a link to the new match of songs:

Kenny Wayne and Foghat tied for first and KWS got the top spot by virtue of having more first place votes (3-2).

Thanks be to Doc Fate and Monkey Joe for helping me keep Sublime from a more miserable showing - and for both having good taste
