I am going to go on record from the start of this Bracket, I am not happy with the way the seeding went down. I like all of the songs. The problem is, I changed the seedings and the order of inclusion a BUNCH of times. I'm still not happy with what I chose or how I played them off, but, I trust that you folks will figure it out. You always do. And for that, I thank you. Hope this Bracket gives you as much consternation as its given me. :crazy2:
The 1/16
The 8/9
The 5/12
The 4/13
The 6/11
The 3/14
The 7/10
The 2/15
You sir, sucketh a giant schlong.
6-11, 8-9, and 5-12 are all impossible, but 7-10 you put one of my all-time favorites up against a song that helped get me thru my divorce.
On the plus side, 2-15 might be one of the easiest ones ever
Anyone who doesn't vote for Clapton deserves a beatin :knuppel2:
Please. That's one of his worst songs.
It really is.

Didn't mean to catch up the bit on the 7-10. Went crazy with the bold.

A drunk, double amputee Clapton is still better than the Galleger brothers on their best day. Which ironically was this song.

he's a better musician. but give a great musician a shitty song, and you get "Change the World" or "I Just Called to Say I Love You" or anything from the "Invisible Touch" album
I was going to try to defend Invisible Touch, but I cannot.
Really funny moment from "If It Makes You Happy" when I was back in the Army
We had a Walkman spliced into the tank's intercom system (not hard to do) and would put on some music for road marches or whenever we were just sitting around waiting for shit to happen.
We had "If It Makes You Happy" on one of the cassettes, and when she go to the line "I'm not the kind of girl you take home" I keyed the intercom and asked "how does she know she's not the kind of girl I'd take home?"
My gunner, SGT Short, didn't miss a beat. He came back over the intercom right away. "Sir, what she means is that she's not the kind of girl who'd go home with you."

Are you going to tell us the funny part?
He's SGT Short from now on.
It was bound to happen, so, I want to congratulate the smart ass who put their vote in for the matchup headers. :clap:
It wasn't me this time!
Not intentionally anyway.
I honestly think it's the first time it has happened for all 8 matchups. Purposeful. Hence, my comment. Although, you would certainly be one of the suspects ;)
I'll mea culpa to doing it once. That was a while back.
Then I was right to suspect you.
Always

It's a protest vote!
I suspect Barth.
Who me?
Check the IP logs.
No one here can spell IP

I'm a pretty big Clapton fan, and I don't even know Change the World, must've been during my mental absence of music in the 90's.
If by, 'mental absence,' you mean, 'coma,' that'd be more appropriate. That song was EVERY where in '96-'97.

I had never heard it before either. Of course, this is about the time I dumped oldies and switched to alternative rock.
lol, I even saw him a few times in the 90s, I guess it was a thick Coma. One show was From the Cradle, which was awesome, but the 'pop fans at the concert hated it!
