After 160 songs in a decade, you would think finding 96 more would be easy.  Not so.  There's still copious amounts of great, great songs and pairing them up is no joke.  So what I am going to do is try to find the most difficult matchups in as many genres as I can.  That may not please some of you, the difficult ones OR the matchups, but, I really want these choices to be all inclusive.  It would be much easier if I just included a narrow spectrum of genres, but that wouldn't be any fun or representative.  So I am including all that I have knowledge and even a slight taste for.  But you knew that, didn't you? ;)

As always, I hope you have fun doing these and that you agonize, even if just a little, over checking the virtual box to vote for your 'favorite.'  And thank you so much for following along and voting. :)

Good list...  I would've swapped out something from White Zombie for the Rob Zombie tune, and I like Slow Ride from Kenny Wayne Shepherd a lot more, but overall that's a nice set of wild cards.

Awwwwww  "Space Lord", mother effers.....now you're rockin', Dawg!   O0 :coolsmiley:

Sorry folks.  Things went sideways on me today and it looks as if the 60's and 70's Wild Cards will have to wait for tomorrow.  Which may work out better as there will be a new round in each poll for the next 42 days  O0

Thank you, sir.  I am partial to, 'Never Gonna Stop.'  Plus, there's five more Wild Card Brackets.  I'm sure Rob and the band will make another appearance or two.

I had, 'Powertrippin',' in that spot earlier and changed my mind as I was posting.  Glad I did :)

I prefer "Powertripping" as I think the guitar hook is better but including any MM is a win in my book  :bd:
Insert witty comment here.

And I'm more partial to "Space Lord" but as you say, just having Monster Magnet in the contest is a win.

Oh man, that was a lot of fun choosing from that list  :D Be interesting to see the outcome between Lang and shepard. I found that a tough choice to make :)

Was that Kim Basinger as the "girl"?
