Well, it’s time for the Battle of the Bands Results. My song choice was the Fine Young Cannibals song “She Drives Me Crazy,” pitting gothic rock band Bliss against the a cappella group the Flying Pickets.
I really had a hard time deciding on this one. I loved the techno sound of Bliss and I liked what they did with it, but I really loved the a cappella vocals of the Flying Pickets. All week long I kept saying that my vote was going to go with the Pickets and then I gave them both one last listen and almost changed my mind. But in the end, I went with the Flying Pickets as my choice. I just like the a cappella sound. I think they did a real good job with it.
That wasn’t the majority vote though. Bliss had an overwhelming win, getting 13 of the 20 votes. It was a fun battle. I really dig the song so I didn’t get sick of playing it over and over again to make my decision. 🙂
Final Tally:
Bliss 13
Flying Pickets 7
Thanks to all who visited and voted! Be sure to check out my next battle on July 1st. Until then, rock on…

Bliss just put a little more “oomph” into it, in my opinion 🙂 Interesting battle! Looking forward to your next one, Michele.

Hi Michele! This was so interesting to me. I’ve always liked Fine Young Cannibals’ version. I voted for the losing group in this one. I’m a sucker for the a cappella sound.
See you in July!!

It just occurred to me that instead of Flying Pickets that Flying Pickles would be an excellent name for a band.
