Title: Decades Feeder Bracket - 1985 Championship

Well, the Eurythmics did it again, this time taking out the number 6 seed, Stevie Ray Vaughan.  As I've explained before, with the exception of the top 2 seeds, seeding is based more on what I think will make a good first round match.  That I got Eurythmics seeded so low and that they've come this far doesn't surprise me, it just irritates me that I misjudged it so badly.  Regardless, it's great to see such a good song make it this far.  As for Dire Straits, I am in agreement with the position stated by some of you that Money for Nothing is certainly not the best Dire Straits song, or anyone's favorite, but, in its time, that song dominated.  So, let's see what you have to say about it my gentle voters and have at!


The 1/10

It might be my favorite Eurythmics song, but I don't know that it's my preferred song from '85.

"Would I Lie to You" wouldn't make my list of top 50 songs from 1985, but given that my favorites have been doing well overall in these brackets, I'll give Dawg a pass on this one   :bd:
