My wife says I’m crazy, starting a new “Madness” thread so soon after ending my Zeppelin Madness. Whatever.
Some notes - I know this seems heavily weighted toward Bon Scott-era songs. I don’t know what to say about that. I think the best of Brian Johnson-era songs are as good as, if not better than, the best Bon Scott songs. But there just seem to be more good songs from the older incarnation of the band.
The seedings were determined by a combination of my opinions, and what I thought most people might think.
Pick one song from each pairing to move on to the next round. This round will last until Monday evening, 4-21, about 3 PM.
In the Final Four, the Brian Johnson Bracket winner will face off against the Angus Young Bracket winner, and Bon Scott will play Malcolm Young. The brackets are named randomly, no significance should be applied to the names.

Finally! AC DC! I was a bit bummed that Razor’s edge had to meet Hell’s Bells so quickly… And that “The Jack” is ranked so low, that’s my fav. ACDC Song.
