Maybe this is too soon, or too late to start another Madness thread, but I will bet there are many Eagles fans on the SDMB. Brackets are randomly named. I will admit, all seeds are my personal bias, but I tried not to match two songs from the same album. Voting for the first round will conclude 00:00 hrs on 12 Apr. At that time Hotels will be matched against Heartache and Long will play off against Gone. **Hotels Bracket** 1. Hotel California 2. Bitter Creek 3. Tequila Sunrise 4. Train Leaves here this Morning 5. Ol’ 55 6. The Sad Cafe’ 7. Teenage Jail 8. Party Town (and I know it is a Glen Frey solo work, but I make the seeds and the rules. 9. Dirty Laundry (same here, Don Henley Song) 10. Last Good time in Town 11. In the City 12. All night long 13. After the Thrill is Gone 14. Chug all Night 15. Most of us are Sad 16.
