All right folks, time for round 3 of Rush Madness. Thanks to everyone who has been voting so far. Last round had a few upsets and a couple ties which required coin flips. #4 seed Force Ten beat #5 seed Analog Kid in a coin flip, as did #7 Time Stand Still over #2 New World Man. #11 Driven rolled over #3 Test for Echo 4-2 and #12 La Villa Strangiato beat out #4 Natural Science in a stunning upset. Can La Villa’s cinderella story continue in this round? It’ll be tough, as it’s up against Tom Sawyer, which slaughtered Entre Nous last round 7-0.

1. 2112 2. Bastille Day 3. Tom Sawyer 4. Freewill vs. 5. The Spirit of Radio This is a really, really tough choice. :smack: The songs are from the same album; Free Will is almost a continuation of Spirit of the Radio- at least in my mind it is. But if I have to make a choice: I will choose . . . The Spirit of the Radio. 6. Subdivisions 7. Distant Early Warning 8. Show Don’t Tell 9. Roll the Bones ---

Ghost of a Chance got beat out of the play-in game against The Main Monkey Business. 🙂 Dreamline vs. Show Don’t Tell is the killer for me here. I had to go with the upset. **Bracket 1 - Panacea** 1. 2112 2. Bastille Day **Bracket 2 - Hyperspace** 12. La Villa Strangiato 11. Freewill **Bracket 3 - 1-0-0-1-0-0-1** 1. Subdivisions 2.

[QUOTE=AndyPolley] Ghost of a Chance got beat out of the play-in game against The Main Monkey Business. 🙂 [/QUOTE] Yep. La Villa and Tom Sawyer are currently tied! And Freewill is beating The Spirit of Radio. Forget the NCAA, this is the cinderella story of the year. Let’s get some more votes in here people! 🆒 ---

[QUOTE=Biffy the Elephant Shrew] **5 time champ** is right; that one is a bitch of a choice. [/QUOTE] Not for me…I know I’m committing Rush fan sacrilege here, but I never really liked “The Spirit of Radio.” It’s one of my least favorite of their hit songs. (edit because I can’t stand finding typos in my postings)
