Hello Kittens & Dawgs! Thanks for stopping by to see if your BoTB pick got named the winner. Last week, I presented The Winner Takes It All showdown between three unknown-to-me bands Black Sweden, At Vance, and Swedish Hitz Goes Metal. Sometimes I know who’ll get my vote while I’m putting the post together and other times I’m torn but either way I give each artist another listen before sharing the results. It really doesn’t matter who gets my vote (see below) because one band stole the majority votes and the showdown.
This is how the votes stacked…
Black Sweden – 6 (Lee, Eugenia, Birgit, John, Ellen, & Veronica)
At Vance – 3 (Stephen, Sandee, & Me)
Swedish Hitz – 4 ( Mary, Tom, Karla, & Pamela)
Today’s winner is Black Sweden!
So, who is Black Sweden? I’m not sure but one blogger wrote that they are a band of geniune Swedish heavy metal mewisicans. On another site, I found a list of the band members: Dr. A Force (vocals), Sir Richard Fireburn (guitar), Johnny Flash (bass), Steve Speed (drums) on their album, Gold, which pays tribute to ABBA that Great Vision International collaborates with their YouTube upload of this album. The heavy metal riff certainly throws my mind after years of exposure to the originals.
You’ll find more battle results at some of these blog listed below (not everyone is doing the bi-monthly showdowns now) and if you’d like to be included in the fun, then contact Stephen requesting to be added to the list.
Angels Bark (Michele), Cherdo on the Flipside, Book Lover (Donna), The Doglady’s Den (Debbie), Your Daily Dose (Robin), Jingle Jangle Jungle (Mary), Mike’s Ramblings, Righting & Editing (Janie), STMcC Presents BoTB (Stephen, BoTB Manager), The Sound of One Hand Typing (John), & Tossing It Out
Thanks to everyone who made this showdown a success. You guys totally rock! I’m scaling back on daily post while I prepare for next month’s A2Z Challenge. You will find me on the dance floor as co-host with the Monday’s Music Moves Me (theme in side menu) gals and be sure to mark your calendar for my next BOTB showdown ont the 15th!
