# EB Live Battle: Bryan Ferry vs. Apparat
**Electronic Beats' live program has facilitated some powerhouse
performances throughout the years, almost all of which are readily
available on [EB's YouTube channel][1]{: target="_blank"}. But which is
the greatest live performance of all? We're handing it over to you to
decide over the coming weeks as we host the first ever [EB Live
Battle][2]{: target="_blank"}**.
Today's Live Battle is a clash of the artrock titans. On the one hand,
we have [Bryan Ferry][3]{: target="_blank"}, who founded Roxy Music in
the 1970s, and on the other, we have Berlin post-rocker and IDM-ish
producer Apparat, the former Shitkatapult boss. We opted for highlight
"My Only Love", which was a number one single in the UK when Roxy Music
released it in 1980, taken from his appearance at an Electronic Beats
Presents showcase in late 2011. While Ferry's bandmates are all dressed
smartly in suits and ties, the [Apparat][4]{: target="_blank"} Band went
for a more stripped-down, vaguely grunge look when they performed at the
2012 Electronic Beats Festival in Prague. But looks only go so far when
it comes to a Live Battle, so it still remains to be seen whether epic
guitar solos will win out over a couple of cuts of electronic-tinted
stoner psych-rock.
