The only one I found painful was 5:15 vs Boris the Spider. Other than that, the second round was a breeze.

With 28 plays in, some of the big guns are creaming the competition, while other races are very tight indeed. “Happy Jack” and “Summertime Blues” are in a dead heat, “The Kids Are Alright” and “Going Mobile” keep edging past each other, and “5:15” has opened up the slimmest of leads over “Boris the Spider.” “Pinball Wizard” vs. “I Can’t Explain” is also a real battle. The story so far:

**Pete Townshend bracket**

2. I Can’t Explain 13

3. Who Are You 22
