The Final Four round was extremely close. Both matchups were tied for a while, but 2112 and Tom Sawyer were able to pull out the win. 2112 beat Roll the Bones 9-4, and Tom Sawyer beat Subdivisions 8-5. Time now to see which Rush song will take home the title. I will conclude this round at 11:59 PM Friday. Thanks to everyone who has been playing. **2112** vs. **Tom Sawyer** ---

All the great songs Rush has put out and it comes down to THIS? Even more disappointing than out 2008 election process! I’ll sit this one out, and listen to “Counterparts.” ---

Wow, How did I miss the championship round? Oh, well. I’d have picked Tom Sawyer as well, at least from this particular matchup… Joe
