Originally posted by Sour Masher View PostMan, these are the toughest match ups so far. Really hard picks, but ultimately, I went straight chalk. the hardest match ups were me voting against Take On Me and Come on Eileen for the first times. Love both those songs as much as the ones I chose, but Born in the USA, so iconic and the Boss needed to move on. Simple Minds is a worse music video, but the better song.---------------------------------------------

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

But, in general, I thought the game was to pick the most iconic, not the best, and it is the more iconic song of the 80s imo."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

Wow, two #1 seeds go down in flames, and only one makes the Final FourIt certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

Worthy final four but I too am surprised the Boss went down.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.
