Led Zeppelin Madness!

[Yorikke]

Just like all the other madness threads. Pick one song from the given pair. the winner goes on to the next round. Notes :

I only chose a pool of 48 songs. This makes bracket weirdness. Instead of a “play-in” round, in the third round, the matchups will be pick 2 of 3 to advance.

“Plant” bracket will play “Jones” in the Final 4, “Page” will play “Bonzo.” The brackets are randomly named, no overarching theme.

I intentionally made the one seeds from different albums. One could easily argue for 3 songs from Zeppelin 4 as one seeds, and I didn’t want that.

I seeded based on popularity and my own personal biases. I tried to avoid first-round matchups from the same album, but didn’t quite succeed.

I will close voting for the first round at 12 noon pacific time on Tuesday, April 8th.

If I messed up somewhere (not in your opinion of my seeds, but in some game mechanics), let me know via PM or in the thread.

Nah. Dopers hate to be predictable. I’m stumping for “Battle of Evermore” to take it all.

Some surprisingly tight matches in here. A few blowouts, and one major upset (IMHO) brewing. Second round will be interesting!

This was a pretty easy round for me, only one hard decision. But I can see it’s going to get a lot harder very quickly. There are only three or four (of my picks) I’m going to be okay with eliminating.
