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. **Robert Plant Bracket** 1. Stairway to Heaven vs 2. In the Evening 3.

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