The Seedings and the Play-In Game

And here we go.

After a lot of anticipation, I bring you the full 65 songs that have made the inaugural Great Rock n Roll Tournament.

We will start off today with the play-in game, which features the lowest vote getter against a random song submitted by you, the voter.

B-52’s – Rock Lobster


vs.

Smashing Pumpkins – Cherub Rock


Tomorrow, I will have the first bracket set up and we will be voting on all of the first round songs in that specific bracket. So that means, there will be 8 match-ups to vote on. I will keep each round of voting open for 3 days because I know how busy we all are these days. Feel free to either put your votes in the comment section or just email them to me.

Once again, thank you to all that submitted their rankings and helped me name the brackets. I think this will be a lot of fun and without further ado, here are the songs and their brackets.
