Three Dog NightRound 2 of our Battle of the Bands continued on Dr. John's Record Shelf last night. You'll recall that this competition was set up to determine what American rock and roll band was the best between 1954 and 1974. The Lovin' Spoonful and Three Dog Night have now advanced and will meet each other in Round 3. The Spoonful (seeded no. 2 in the Northeast Bracket) dispatched Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show (No. 10) in a unanimous decision (thanks to my brother Nick who served as the third judge this week), while Three Dog Night (3) edged the Flying Burrito Brothers (11) by a two to one margin.
The Lovin' SpoonfulThe songs that the winners rode to victory were "You Didn't Have to Be So Nice" by the Spoonful and "Joy to the World" by Three Dog Night. They proved to be just a little bit stronger (in the judges opinion) than "Cover of the Rolling Stone" by Dr. Hook and "Hot Burrito #2" by the Burrito Brothers. Next week will see Southwest Bracket contests between Spirit (11) and the Doors (3), and the Sir Douglas Quintet (10) and the Beach Boys (2). Check back here for the results, if you can't listen in (Sunday night 5-7 Mountain Time, 90.9 fm).
