I am always a little embarrassed when we get a really low seed this far.  It's like I totally misread the room in my myopia.  But it's great to see.  I think the songs Rocket Man had to beat to get here were really good.  And where there's really good music, we all win.  Have at!  And thanks for voting :)


The 1/15

And the winner is....Rocket Man!  If I had known you guys liked Sir Elton that much I would have put much better songs in the '71 bracket by him.  In any event, I am embarrassed that a 15 has taken the trophy.  I totally botched that one.  But, new brackets are right around the corner and I can try my luck again.  Thank you again for voting.

I figured a well-rounded Trek fan, such as yourself, would have seen that before

Elton John was huuuge in my middle-school and high school years. I bought every album he put out from "Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only the Piano Player" to "Blue Moves". Even so, big EJ fan I am (was), I'm surprised he pulled it off.
