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.
