Time for round two of the Rush madness game! 32 songs remain. Most of the really popular songs rolled over their competition last round, with only a couple of upsets. YYZ bought it early, and so did Limelight. Only one tie, Anthem vs A Farewell to Kings. Anthem won in a notebook-flip (I didn’t have a coin handy, so I had to improvise). Here are the new matchups. Voting will continue until Saturday, March 29th at 10:00 PM EST. If voting is slow, I may end it early. **Bracket 1 - "Panacea"** 1. 2112 vs. 2. Anthem 3. A Passage to Bangkok vs. 4. Xanadu 5. Working Man vs. 6. Closer to The Heart 7. Bastille Day vs. 8. Fly By Night **Bracket 2 - "Hyperspace"** 9. Tom Sawyer vs. 10. Entre Nous 11. La Villa Strangiato vs. 12. Natural Science 13. Freewill vs. 14. Red Barchetta 15. Witch Hunt vs. 16. The Spirit of Radio **Bracket 3 - 1-0-0-1-0-0-1** 17. Subdivisions vs. 18. The Enemy Within 19. Analog Kid vs. 20. Force Ten 21. The Big Money vs. 22. Distant Early Warning 23. Time Stand Still vs. 24. New World Man **Bracket 4 - Ebb and Flow** 25. Dreamline vs. 26. The Pass 27. Far Cry vs. 28. Show Don’t Tell 29. Driven vs. 30. Test for Echo 31. Roll the Bones vs. 32. Animate ---

Freewill vs Red Barchetta is harder than La Villa Strangiato vs YYZ in that last round. How could no one vote for The Trees in the last round? 😕 That includes my cut & paste error. :smack: Bracket 1 - “Panacea” 1. 2112 2. A Passage to Bangkok 3. Working Man 4. Fly By Night Bracket 2 - “Hyperspace” 1. Tom Sawyer 2. La Villa Strangiato 3. Freewill 4. The Spirit of Radio Bracket 3 - 1-0-0-1-0-0-1 1. Subdivisions 2. Force Ten 3. Distant Early Warning 4. New World Man Bracket 4 - Ebb and Flow 4. Show Don’t Tell 7. Roll the Bones ---

[QUOTE=5 time champ] Freewill vs Red Barchetta is harder than La Villa Strangiato vs YYZ in that last round.

And, things aren’t looking good so far this round for my favorite song, Natural Science. I hope it can pick up some votes. ---

The Trees just ran into a buzzsaw with Witchhunt in the first round. All of the bracket 4 matchups are tough. My lowest seeds still alive are Witch Hunt over Spirit of the Radio, and I’m keeping Driven alive against Test for Echo. Bracket 1 - “Panacea” 1. 2112 2. Xanadu 3. Closer to The Heart 4. Bastille Day Bracket 2 - “Hyperspace” 1. Tom Sawyer 2. Natural Science 3. Red Barchetta 4. Witch Hunt Bracket 3 - 1-0-0-1-0-0-1 1. Subdivisions 2. Analog Kid 3. Distant Early Warning 4. New World Man Bracket 4 - Ebb and Flow 5. Dreamline 6. Show Don’t Tell 7. Driven vs. 8. Animate ---
