Some virtual dead heats, but no real surprises in the first round. In Division B, “Enter Sandman”, inexplicably seeded 16th, couldn’t stand up to the might of top-seeded “Stairway to Heaven”. In Division C, “Smoke on the Water” (16) edged out “Like a Rolling Stone” (1). On to round 2! In case it makes any difference, I’ve added the time for each song, based on what my iTunes tells me. Division A 1 **Hey Jude** (7:08) - The Beatles 9 **Hallelujah** (6:53) - Jeff Buckley 2 **Layla** (7:05) - Derek And The Dominos 7 **The Thrill Is Gone** (5:25) - B.B.

Division A 1 **Hey Jude** (7:08) - The Beatles (A very tough choice, but I went with the Beatles mostly because though I love “Hallelujah”, I like the original L. Cohen version better.) 2 **Layla** (7:05) - Derek And The Dominos 6 **Both Sides Now** (5:45) - Joni Mitchell 4 **Whole Lotta Love** (5:34) - Led Zeppelin Division B 8 **Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone** (6:53) - The Temptations (I effin’ HATE “Stairway to Heaven.”) 3 **You Can’t Always Get What You Want** (7:35) - The Rolling Stones 5 **Won’t Get Fooled Again** (8:31) - The Who 7 **Lust For Life** (5:13) - Iggy Pop Division C 2 **What’d I Say Parts I & II** (6:28) - Ray Charles 3 **A Day In The Life** (5:34) - The Beatles 16 **Smoke On The Water** (5:19) - Deep Purple 12 **Iron Man** (5:58) - Black Sabbath Division D 1 **Smells Like Teen Spirit** (5:01) - Nirvana 10 **Sweet Child O’ Mine** (5:56) - Guns N’ Roses 3 **Bridge Over Troubled Water** (5:09) - Simon & Garfunkel 12 **Comfortably Numb** (6:24) - Pink Floyd [/QUOTE] ---

Division A 1 **Hey Jude** (7:08) - The Beatles (Still think this is overrated, but it beats the competition hands down) 2 **Layla** (7:05) - Derek And The Dominos 14 **Baba O’Riley** (5:10) - The Who (The who was seeded too low here, Mitchell was seeded too high) 4 **Whole Lotta Love** (5:34) - Led Zeppelin (The King is easily out done) Division B 1 **Stairway To Heaven** (8:03) - Led Zeppelin (Another overrated top seed but it still beats out its competititon–but not by much) 3 **You Can’t Always Get What You Want** (7:35) - The Rolling Stones 5 **Won’t Get Fooled Again** (8:31) - The Who (Very close competition) 15 **White Room** (5:03) - Cream (Overrated Iggy Pop entry gets demolished by underrated Cream Entry) Division C 2 **What’d I Say Parts I & II** (6:28) - Ray Charles (The overly pretentious Rhapsody gets defeated by a much more straightforward and soulful blues.) 6 **Kashmir** (8:28) - Led Zeppelin (An overrated entry by The Fab Four is upset by the best Zeppelin song in this feud) 16 **Smoke On The Water** (5:19) - Deep Purple (The overrated Freebird is undone–though I still prefer Highway Star) 13 **Wish You Were Here** (5:19) - Pink Floyd Division D 1 **Smells Like Teen Spirit** (5:01) - Nirvana (Yet another overrated #1 seed moves on because of weak competition. Prince’s other songwriting entry in this list, Purple Rain, was a better song, regardless of who was signing what.) 2 **Sympathy For The Devil** (6:24) - The Rolling Stones (A very close matchup with an underrated 10th seed, but the Stones pull it out) 6 **Voodoo Child (Slight Return)** (5:13) - The Jimi Hendrix Experience 4 **Hotel California** (6:03) - The Eagles (Yet another close matchup that wasn’t reflected in the seeds, but the Eagles eek out a victory) ---
