[QUOTE=Biffy the Elephant Shrew]
Like Frank sez, “Baba O’Riley.” Do you want to add a vote for that one?
[/QUOTE]

Yeah, let’s do that. I thought about that song after I voted and realized it was probably one that I skipped because I didn’t recognize it. Of coure, I’m not familiar with the song it’s up against, but that’s okay. I’ll vote for it anyway.

Too bad it’s in the same bracket as Who Are You, or we could have had all three CSI themes in the Final Four.

[QUOTE=Biffy the Elephant Shrew]
I’ve enjoyed the rock “Madness” threads enough that I thought I’d try to contribute one of my own. (I really wanted to do Jethro Tull madness, but I figured there wouldn’t be enough potential players.)

I’d like to see Madness Madness. :slight_smile:

Or maybe a competition amongst the works of John Philip Sousa: March Madness.
