The Battle

It's our first battle in the Michael McDonald division.  This time Jenn Tully and Matt Sidhom debate his Doobie Brothers hits: Minute by Minute vs What A Fool Believes! 

It's our second battle in the heavyweight division.  This time Jenn Tully and Matt Sidhom debate Kenny Loggins vs Kenny Loggins as his Yacht Rock hits This is It and Heart to Heart battle to see who moves on to face Christopher Cross in the second round!

Welcome to Season 3 of The Battle—the podcast where songs go head-to-head and only one survives. This season, we’re setting sail into smooth waters to determine the ultimate yacht rock anthem.

Kicking off in the Heavyweights Division, it’s a Christopher Cross showdown:
🎵 Sailing vs. Ride Like the Wind
Same artist. Two iconic tracks. Only one can advance.

Will the laid-back smoothness of Sailing carry the day? Or will the upbeat drive of Ride Like the Wind take the title?

Grab your captain’s hat and join us for a fun, nostalgic, and slightly ridiculous ride through soft rock history. Your yacht rock playlist will never be the same.
