And also, there's no way any Springsteen songs could be put in anything called "loser bracket". It'd have to be a "misunderstood" bracket.

We'd leave those out.

I'd say it is pretty damn good even if it's not with Slash, Buckethead can play too.

His Greatest Hit Volume I was issued by the US government to every kid, right along with Rumors, Frampton Comes Alive, Boston, Hotel California, etc.

My father-in-law got all bent out of shape when he heard the song "The Bitch is Back", just like parents do nowadays.

It is just a distortion to not consider Elton John to be rock.

See, this was my point......how the genre has gotten so fragmented over time. John is no harder hitting than Phill Collins, Stevie Wonder or Bruce Hornsby, yet nobody considers them Rock and Roll. All of them great artists though.....

Like i mentioned earlier, if Elton John released the same songs today, no way would modern rock radio even touch it.

Its just strange to me.....

What if we just included "Signs" and voters could opt to vote for it or suckage, and if it gets more votes than suckage does, it wins.
