Decades Feeder Bracket - 1990 Final Eight

[MetalDog]

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!!

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.

There's a lot of AIC fans on the site.

Noooooooo!!!!

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.

they had better songs, but that was the one that put them on the map

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....

[MetalDog]

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
