oh jeez, not this again. Baba – while its hard to decide which song I prefer, Baba is definitely more epic. Fooled is 7 minutes of the same stuff Bohemian – no contest here. ---

The two songs by The Who were running neck and neck, but a last minute point by “Won’t Get Fooled Again” sent it to the finals. A **Baba O’Riley** (5:10) - The Who = 16 B **Won’t Get Fooled Again** (8:31) - The Who = 17 The Rolling Stones took an early lead, but were then rolled over by “Bohemian Rhapsody”. C **Bohemian Rhapsody** (5:55) - Queen = 21 D **Sympathy For The Devil** (6:24) - The Rolling Stones Final round will be up shortly.
