Thank you all for coming through for me, despite the grumbling. I really appreciate you sticking with it. Maybe this round will get things going a little better.
As Brant said in the Round of 16 thread, this thing is going chalk except for Hammer (which surprised me because I remember how absolutely giGANtic that song was when it came out) in the dance portion of the bracket. I think you folks have put through a strong 3 seed and I like AIC's chances for an upset. Thanks again for participating!!
The 1/8
The 4/5
The 3/6
The 7/15
Thank God Hammer's out

You afraid he's going to hurt them?
I really don't care for the song anymore, but it was huge back in the day. MTV was still useful to your career then.
AIC baby!!
There's a lot of AIC fans on the site.
Or maybe Thunderstruck just sucks

It does. But I had to have a 1 and I didn't see anything else that overwhelmed me. I definitely would have made something else Number 1 if I had put up a bracket that included only stuff I liked.

I didn't remember the song.. had to click on it (remember the video style).. I love AC DC, but really only Back in Black and before. When they started firing cannon's I got turned off.
Meh. That AIC song doesn't do much for me. Just a slow, flaccid grind of a song.

Agree.
And while Man In The Box was on the album that was released in 1990, that song wasn't released as a single until 1991, so it's sorta skirting the rules for this year anyway....
The album was released in '90. This is a '90 bracket. While I use the the Billboard Hot 100 for the bracket year, I don't always check release dates of songs. Cuz I really don't care. But, because it seems to be something folks might point out, I have been paying more attention to when a song was released. If it's on an album released in the bracket year, I don't count when a song was released as a single. I mean, they didn't keep it off the album I bought, so, I could listen to it and love it before they made it a single.

it's gonna be really fun when you get to '84/'85 :)
"I Feel For You" by Chaka Khan was released in '84 and finished in the year-end top 100, but was still on the charts into '85 and actually finished higher on the year-end top 100 of '85
Then it looks like I can use it for either one I choose. And won't use it for the other ;)
