Well, my friend Steelgrave will be happy.  I finally made a Boss song Number 1.  And while he may not agree, maybe he likes Jungleland or 10th Avenue Freeze Out better, but, Rosalita is a pretty bad a$$ song in its own right.  I piled a bunch of good songs in on top of that, too.  Some bands we haven't seen in the Wild Cards yet like Supertramp and REO Speedwagon.  Joined by old favorites, Fleetwood Mac and Talking Heads.  Hope you like how I put them together.  And thank you, as always, for following along and voting :)

Weird... In every matchup, I went with the lower seed. Honestly, the 6-11 was a tossup for me, but when I realized I went all lower seeds everywhere else, it just fit

I've seen them in concert at lest 4 times. Great shows. I own all their albums.  :)

Good bracket and yes, I did enjoy seeing "The Boss" leading off. "Jungleland" is amazing, a better song than "Rosalita" all the way around but you have to listen to "Jungleland" to get the depth and sheer poetry of the piece, whereas "Rosalita" is a feel good song. By way of comparison, I know the complete lyrics to "Jungleland" by heart (and the poets down here don't write nothin' at all, they just stand back and let it all be) but little more than the refrain to "Rosalita". But I'm not complaining. It's all for fun anyway.

And hell yeah to Supertramp! One of the more unappreciated bands of the 70's.

Oh, so you're counting the audition when John Bonham beat you out for the gig?
