    If I was voting just for the artist it would have been a toss up with Mat Kearney just barely winning since the whole City of Black & White album was perfect in my opinion. That being I don’t like Save Me San Francisco so this was an easy vote for Hey Mama.

  • TrishaLynn

    I just ♥ Mat Kearney!

  • Lindsay

    Train = one.hit.wonder…….. whereas, Mat Kearney = amazing.always. /the end.

    I’ve always liked Train. I like this song because it has a message in it, & I liked the rhythm,beat,etc. of it.

  • ANNETTE BOOTHEY

  • Victoria

  • scott

    ive never heard of mat kearney. pat and train are great !

  • Tabatha

    I just want you to know it was a very hard decision because they are both very good but I am a very die hard Train fan and love there music so of course the decision was to choose them. But not after listening to both songs which were great! I hope that doesn’t mean that the music wont stop because I wont both groups to keep going, because if we don’t have music we just can’t make it through the day! :) They make every day worth it! Keep it up and never stop!

  • Carla Marano

    Train puts on an awesome show! The band showed Pat’s hometown what a great show they put on & it was a night we’ll never forget! Thanks guys :)

  • Lori

    hmmm Train & Matt hard to choose but I do believe i’d have to pick Matt. Love listening to Matt Kearney as i’m driving to the east coast of FL

  • musiclover747

    Train all the way. Pat and the boys are the best all around band ever. One hit wonder? OMG you don’t know how great Train is! Their entire Save Me San Francisco CD is amazing. They have hits on many other CD’s too. Drops of Jupiter, Cab, Calling All Angels, Marry Me, many many. I encourage you to listen to their music!

  • Courtney

    Train is the only right answer!! I love them!!

  • Jumbo

    TRAIN RULZ !

  • Upstater

    Love Mat Kearney – but saw Train last summer and got hooked…giving the current underdog my vote!

  • Carlo

    Easy decision as Mat is about as talented and original as my last dump !! Train on the other hand, are full of melody and fantastic musicianship and seem to be growing in their craft with every record they make.

  • Mariah B.

    Mat who..?????? Who knows him?? TRAIN ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love you Pat, Jimmy and Scott ♥

  • CHIRAG SHAH

    HEY TRAIN BAND should have kept the song of HEY SOUL SISTER…… THEY WOULD HAVE WON by 90 % of VOTES in their side……

  • Briana

    Train, always. They’re legendary and epic beyond proportions.

  • Aline Wenceslau

    Voting over and over again! Train will win!

  • CHIRAG SHAH

    LISTEN TO THE SONG OF HEY SOUL SISTER OF TRAIN BAND & YOU WILL SURELY VOTE FOR THE TRAIN BAND.

  • Sami J

    WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE. TRAIN IS AMAZING

  • Sami J

    How can you call Train a One Hit Wonder? What Planet have you been living on? With 6 albums and 3 top 20 hits, among MANY top 100 hits, you have to have serious issues to make that statement.

  • Lady

    Train = 15.years.of.highly.loved.music… … .. I’m pretty sure they aren’t a “one.hit.wonder.” ;) Just saying.

  • Dawn Abrahamson

    I agree! Who is or what is a Mat Kearney??????

  • Sami J

    TRAIN is one of the BEST live bands I have EVER seen. Save Me San Fransico is not the typical album that is put out their today by most artists with maybe 2 or 3 good songs. The entire album blew me away and I love everyone of them. Their best album by far to date!

  • Donna Lange

    We saw Train in Spokane, WA this winter, and what a fabulous show. I was a fan before, but I fell in love with the band that night.

  • Susie

    This isn’t fair . . . I love Train & Matt Kearney!!!

  • JESUS CORDOVA

    Train is awesome !!!!

  • CHIRAG SHAH

    LISTEN TO THE SONG OF HEY SOUL SISTER & YOU WILL SURELY VOTE FOR THE TRAIN BAND …… !!!!!!!!

  • Ruby18

    Train is not a one hit one wonder by any means . They have had several amazing songs AND albums . Plus 3 grammy’s don’t come for one hit wonders

  • Pat

    Love train Hey Soul Sister

  • Jenn Clark

    Ironically, Mat Kearney opened for TRAIN in 2006 at Innsbrook Pavilion in VA. Great show but Train has had my heart for years! And will be seeing them for the 5th time here in Chattanooga in a few weeks!

  • Jan

    <3 LOVE TRAIN!!

  • Kathy B

    Defenitely Train has been and will be always be number one! they have been so amazing since the very beginning!! all my colombian ♥ for u guys!!

  • Christena

    Your comment shows you know nothing about Train. You might choose to do a little a research and you will find yourself surrounded by amazing music.

  • Carol Hanquier

    Pat and the gang are the absolute best!!!!!!

  • Carol Hanquier

    Love Train!!

  • Angela V

    HUUUGE fan of both. Even tho Train won, u should definitely do your listeners the favor of playing both! Thanks for such great choices…too bad they were against each other. Awesome tunes!

  • joey

    I think the fact that I wanted to hear Mat Kearney’s “Hey Mama” for the second time after getting 2 minutes into Train’s song says something. Originality Award goes to Mat.

  • Mrdollyllama

    I’m here to vote for Matt Kearney as well but… Um… Train a one hit wonder? I’ll have to assume you were being sarcastic.

  • becca

    No doubt Mat Kearney is amazing.. very easy vote.
    City of Black & White. :)

  • becca

    k, carlo..thats kinda rude…

  • emily

    everyone knows train is a one hit wonder HEY SOUL SISTER, & thats like it…. MAT KEARNEY ALL THE WAY!

  • http://Www.wkeithnix.com W Keith nix

    Ok, I first saw Mat at Zydeco in Bham in maybe 05. Since then I’ve seen him 6 times with my wife, sons, and friends. I’m a 45 year old Headmaster at a classical Christian school in Richmond. Mat Kearney is one of my top 5 fav artist of all-time. Come to Richmond soon … But we will see you in Atlanta in June!

  • raycene

    what is a Mat Kearney? train is the shiz nit. okay!

  • Cheryl Guillory

    TRAIN!!! BABY!!! Always and forever!!!! LOVE<LOVE<LOVE!!! These guys!!! Hey Soul Sister!!! My lung donor was looking down on me when this song came out and I didn't know the significance of it for 7 months after my double lung transplant!!!! Keep Rocking It Fellas!!!!

    I enjoyed Mat Kearney’s song Hey Mama and will probably purchase more of his music, however being a follower of Train I can’t go past them, they are just too damm good

  • Francis

    PLEASE PPL Don’t vote 4 who U like more!!Listen to BOTH songs…Don’t vote for an artist based on a previous single…VOTE based on these 2 songs…I like BOTH artists (Train and Mat Kearney) but DON’T say “who the $%*@ is Mat Kearney”…VOTE FAIRLY BASED ON THESE 2 SONGS and not based on their past!!!

  • Ange

    Go Train! I’m from Adelaide, Australia & have seen Train live twice now. They rock! Vote Train – I did, all the way from Aus :)

  • Kazz

    Who the heck is Mat Kearney?? lol JK. Seriously there is no competition. TRAIN wins!! oh and Lindsay…..I can name more than one hit from train, and being from australia, I can also say train are international artsts where as Mat Kearney……pfffffft!

  • BettyI

    Oh, NO. This is impossible. My two favorite singer/group in the past 10 years! LOVE Train, but I think Mat Kearney NEEDS the vote more.

  • Tammy

    Never could I vote for another when you have me listening to Mat Kearney. His music is chocolate to my ears.

  • Patti

    Train is far from a one hit wonder band. They have many hit songs, most you probably know but don’t realize it’s Train. Mat WHO?

  • Christena

    Ever heard of…Meet Virginia, Drops of Jupiter, Calling All Angels, Cab, If It’s Love, Marry Me? They’ve won Grammy’s. A lot of everyone’s know they are far from a “one hit wonder” A LOT!! Check it, you will love what you hear :)

  • Patti

    I have never seen anyone sing with more passion than Pat from Train.

  • Amber lala

    Train is the best band ever, and i wouldn’t even say that save me San Francisco is their best song, but i still really love it! Im like obsessed with train, is that bad?!?!?!

  • Cathy

    I love me some Train!

  • JoAnn Mellendorf

    I agree, “One Hit Wonderer”, what ya talking about. Then you don’t know TRAIN at all.

  • JoAnn Mellendorf

    TRAIN is leading now- 55%

  • charlotte

    silly girl! Train has 3 Grammys, 6 albums plus SMSF Golden Gate edition. Now, Train fans are not nasty people, but don’t you dare call our boys one hit wonders. Ever heard of Drops of Jupiter? Meet Virginia? Calling All Angels? When I Look to the Sky? oh by the way, who is mat kearney?

  • charlotte

    Train all the way babaaaaaaay! Pat, Jimmy, and Scott are the most deserving people! Honestly, I’ve never even heard of mat kearney…..
    TRAINIAC FOR LIFE! <3

  • Michelle Amoroso

    T r a i n ♥ All my life ♥ Argentina encouraged! ♥ Good Luck!

  • charlotte

    TRAINIAC FOREVER!!! Train puts on an amazing show!!!! Such wonderful people spreading wonderful messages though all of their music.
    I’ve never heard of mat before….

  • Lisa

    @Lindsay, Train a one hit wonder? What rock have you been living under all these years?

  • Lisa

    @Lindsay, Train a one hit wonder? What rock have you been living under all these years, lol? Best do some research!

  • Lady

    Whoo! Train is WINNING!

  • Lady

    HA! Not.

  • Ruby18

  • Ruby18

  • mat kearney

    awww, you guys are so sweet, but really I’m not nearly as awesome as train! vote for Train!

  • Jen

    Been listing to Matt since “Bullet” so when it comes to voting…it will always be Matt. Best of luck my friend! ;)

  • Rosie

    TRAIN RULES !!!!

  • Lady

    Strap Mat to the tracks! Lets go Train! [Not meant to be offensive or anything ^.^]

  • QueenofTrain

    Train is not only the most talented set of musicians ever, but they have the greatest fan base! Good luck Mat, but there’s no beating true Trainiacs!!

  • Jay Leininger

    The voting is between the songs listed above and not Hey Soul Sister. I enjoy Train but not this particular song. I’m surprised at how many people on here are worse than Star Trek nerds arguing which version is better. I have no problem for people who voted either way but I would hope that more than a few people could rightly justify their choice.

  • Ruby18

    Word lady! Train Rules , Mat sucks ! :)

  • Ruby18

    Hahaha!!! Lisa you’re awesome!!

  • Ruby18

    Train is the best . Always been the best , Always gonna be the best . Trainiac for Life !!!!!!!!!!!! <3 I Love You Pat, Jimmy , and Scott :~)

  • Ruby18

    @ emily ,
    Are you insane ? Do you live under a rock ?
    Train is NOT in ANY way , shape , or form a one hit wonder . Drops of Jupiter , Meet Virginia , Calling All Angels , When I Look To The Sky , Something More , If It’s Love , Give Myself To You , Marry Me , Ever heard of ‘em ? Well, You are clearly incorrect b / c Train has 3 Grammy’s and I’m pretty sure Mat dosen’t . Check out Train please , They’re awesome and you’ll probably love them and come to our side and BTW One hit wonders aren’t around for 16 years . Alright Buh – Bye

  • Camille

    had to be loyal and vote Train, but Mat is awesome….

  • Jay Leininger

    I’m glad somebody understands the point of the voting. I also enjoy both artists but Save Me San Francisco is one of the very few Train songs that I just don’t like.

  • Pol

    MaT Kearney All The Wayyyyyyy. Train is a good band but Mat Kearney is just raw talent. All if his songs from all of his albums are HITS. I have not encounter a single song of his that’s ok or bad. We have artist and singers sing/make songs that sound similar to each other. But not Mat Kearney, his just Mat Kearney :) HEY MAMA is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • kirk chamberlain

    Train one hit wonder? You Muppet!!!!! what are you 12 years old lmao!!!!!

  • Simone Forster

    who the hell is train? I just know Mat Kearney..And he is a beatifull singer/songwriter.:) But i havent seen him live yet, because i live in Germany. But on Tuesday i meet Tom Beck!! i love him and Mat.:) <33
    God bless you all ! !

  • Lisa Nutter

    Of COURSE I’m voting for Train! Love you guys!!

  • musiclover747

    Lindsey, u really don’t know Train at all when you say one hit wonder. Hey Soul Sister was a hit, true but they have DOZENS of other great songs and hits. Ever hear of Drops of Jupiter? Calling All Angels? Marry Me? If it’s Love? Get to Me? Cab? Free? Meet Virginia? She’s on Fire? Just to name a few of their more popular songs. 15 + years and a GREAT group of guys. So please, I agree with many of the other comments, do your research. I won’t say anything about derrogatory about Matt but really Train is far beyond.

  • Jay Leininger

    I guess I have to give you props for this comment. However, I then had to take it back since you didn’t capitalize the name or the start of your sentences.

  • Ruby18

    @ Jay ,
    You are right . We do get a little heated . But , It’s because we all love either artist so much . I’m a die hard Trainiac , So when someone calls them a one hit wonder it really grinds at me and I can’t help but reply with snarky comments . I like you attitude of not really caring what people say :) Thank you for that

  • Ruby18

    @ Amber lala ,

    i’m also insanely obsessed with them their music is simply perfect . I could never vote for anyone but them

  • Sheila

    I have to disagree, Train by far is not a one hit wonder… Hey Soul Sister, Calling all Angels, Meet Virginia.. save me San Francisco… BUT I will agree. MAT is BRILLIANT… Doesn’t matter what he sings… it’s great.

  • Ruby18

    @ Carta ,
    I’m glad you picked Train . But, how could you say Mat is as good as Pat? It isn’t humanly possible for anyone to be even as close to as talented as Pat .

  • Emily

    I voted for Train.. Matt Kearney is a no hit wonder..
