We've come down to it.  The championship.  The final battle for all the hairspray.  And two better contenders couldn't be found.  The juggernaut that is Sweet Child O' Mine against one of the defining songs of the power ballad genre, Every Rose Has Its Thorn.  Thank you to all who have participated and voted and commented.  I've had fun doing this.  It's up to you music fan to put this debate to rest for all time.  Who will win?

It really was inevitable these two met in the championship. This was a lot of fun and thanks for making it cool brother. Guns all the way!

Quite welcome, my brother.  Couldn't have done it without you.  Or your lovely wife.  Just wished we could have had a few more votes.  What'll we do next year?  Maybe a Decades bracket?

That's putting this together MD & Co.  Didn't know all of the songs, but it definitely took be make to my, em, younger years.

Totally welcome.  I broached the topic with my brother and he immediately was stoked.  He got some input from his wife and then called me the same night.  We hashed out who and where and I hosted it here.  Glad all of you enjoyed and thank you all so much for participating.

It's been fun, Dawg. And the officiating has been way superior to the North Carolina-Gonzaga matchup  ::)

Thanks, Steelie.  Been fun doing it.  Don't congratulate me on the officiating yet, though.  It appears that we have a tie.  In each of the earlier rounds, we could go with the higher seed.  Unfortunately, there's nowhere to go from 1.  We could do a Dance Off.  Poison wouldn't even have to try.  Have you seen Axl dance?  But then Brant would accuse me of bias (and he'd be right -wink-).  We could do a Which Singer Had A Reality TV Show Off.  Poison would win that, too.  We could go with a Who Has Dawg Seen In Concert More Off.  GnR would "technically," win that one (I've been to three of their concerts and only saw them once and I've seen Poison once).  So...I don't know how to break the tie.  Any suggestions?

Coin flip.

That'd be great, but who's going to flip the coin?  It's no secret how much I love GnR and I wouldn't want anyone to think that influenced me.  Do you know how to make the dice roll function...function?  We could assign GnR a set of numbers and give Poison the rest.

Dog, did you hookup with more girls at one concert over the other.  That could work as a tie breaker.

Funny you should mention it.  The one time I DID see Guns, I spent all of Soundgarden outside trying to get a date for after the show.  Didn't get one, but, the Jumbotron inside the venue contained a lot of ladies who lost their tops.

And in a gesture of good faith, I will let Brant roll the dice and I will PM the assigned numbers to OJsDad.  Once you post the result of the d6 Brant, OJsDad can reveal the PM.  Deal?
