Decades Feeder Bracket - 1974 Round of 16

[MetalDog]

1974 turned out to be an interesting year.  A lot of really good songs, not a lot of natural pairings.  So, to me, it looks a bit of a disjointed mess.  I really like the chances of the higher seeds to carry the day.  As for the lower seeds, no, I don't think Bad Company or Aerosmith are worthy of the last two seeds.  It was just the best way to match up the top two seeds.  A quick aside, I don't know how many of you listen to any of the videos when you vote.  I have to imagine there are occasionally songs you might not know and I hope you are discovering some good stuff along the journey.  As always, thanks for coming along with me and voting!   :)  O0

Personally, I thought this would be a very tough bracket to vote in.  But it really wasn't all that tough. 

[mirth]

This was the easiest bracket so far.

[OJsDad]

This was the easiest bracket so far.

You voted straight ticket, didn't you.

[mirth]

I like to vote for, "This is the choice for.."

[bayonetbrant]

There were 2-3 tougher choices, but there's a lot of songs in this one I just flat out don't like, so voting against them wasn't too hard.

And then there's the one Bad Company tune I don't hate at this point in my life.  The older I get, the less I enjoy listening to Bad Company, George Thorogood, and ZZ Top.

[mirth]

And Joe Walsh, and Rush, and a lot of other bands/performers.

[BanzaiCat]

I lost my interest in ZZ Top by the early 90s. :(

[mirth]

ZZ Top was a fad band.

And Joe Walsh, and Rush, and a lot of other bands/performers.

I'm OK with James Gang, but most of his solo stuff is pretty annoying.  Rush I like, but like Soundgarden, I can't listen to more than 3-4 songs in a row.

[mirth]

Rush may be the most overrated band of all time. They've had a few decent songs, but most of it is derivative shit. And trust me, Rush gets plenty of airplay in Maine.

A quick aside, I don't know how many of you listen to any of the videos when you vote.  I have to imagine there are occasionally songs you might not know and I hope you are discovering some good stuff along the journey.  As always, thanks for coming along with me and voting!   :)  O0

While I tend to know 100% of the songs from the 60's through the 80's, I have indeed discovered a few great songs through your brackets, some of which have become favorites on my playlists. So thanks!

[BanzaiCat]

I recognized about 60-70% of the song names in this list, but the other 30%, I had to give a quick listen to. I realized I'd heard all of them before, I just didn't know their names. I'm weird like that I guess.

[Barthheart]

ZZ Top was a fad band.

The fuck you talkin about Willis?!?  :o
Being around as long as they have is hardly a fad....  ::)

And Joe Walsh is a fantastic guitar player, one of the best of all time.

But I agree with you about Rush... way over rated... all their music sounds exactly the same to me.

[Staggerwing]

Rush's Signals album did a pretty good job of scratching a Prog/New Wave crossover itch.
