You vote on your favorite songs on each round, until one is crowned the winner. That’s pretty much all there is to it.

Ah, it has come to this… alas a sentimental favorite has to fall, though it shall be much honored as a symbol of how it all began… but the cruel logic of the bracket seedings already suggested that the final contest pretty much had to be between the two big blasts, isn’t it?

[QUOTE=Leaffan]  
I may be really missing something, but what’s the point of all these surveys? Is a final list compiled? (I haven’t seen one.) And so what anyway?

What am I missing?  
[/QUOTE]

Point? There needs to be a point?

I do have an idea in the back of my head to take the winners of all these surveys and do a “best song in the history of the dope madness” but that is a ways away.

To me the top seeds are tops for a clear reason:

1. Baba O’Riley
2. Won’t Get Fooled Again

And yes, when (not if) it comes down to these two, I’m a-gonna pick _Won’t Get Fooled Again_ over _Baba O’Riley_.

2. I Can See for Miles 11

3. My Generation 8
