Music Madness!

[kenton]

Since the "Madness" that happens in March has been cancelled, I haven't had my bracket fix so I thought I would come up with a little game called Music Madness. The first 64 people that reply with a song will be put into a bracket. Once the bracket is full, I will start advancing winners until the champion is crowned. You can pick a song you think I will like or pick your own favorite and try to sway my opinion so feel free to "stump speech" for your selection when you enter it.

Rules:
one entry per person
entry must contain song title and artist

Prizes:
I'll throw in a $25 gift card to basspro/cabelas
You can be my friend, which comes with all the perks of...um...well...i don't know

Hints: I like AC/DC, Beatles, Cash, Doors, Eminem, Foo Fighters, Green Day, INXS, Journey, Kansas, Lenard Skynard, Steve Miller, Nugent, Outcast, Petty, Queen, Reo Speedwagon, Segar, The Record Company, U2, Who, ZZ Top
I don't like 99% of the past 40 years of country, Metallica

So if you think you have the musical mastery, the song sureness, the lyrical latitude, the beat bravado, the forte fortitude, then lets play.

The Darkness....I believe in a thing called love

This ones been out a minute but I think you’d appreciate it. Warren Haynes is the man no matter who he plays with but his solo stuff gets overlooked, but he kills it on this song, Hattiesburg Hustle

It's not Outkast, but close

Goodie Mob
"Soul Food"

 

[Lone Elk]

Long time classic light rock

 

[Dave N]

Can't beat a good AC/DC tune live. Also a good one for the intro when the teams hit the floor! THUNDERSTRUCK!

 

[beagle001]

Listen twice. It’s got it all. Riffs, drums, lyrics and a twist. It might not win, but bahgawd it rocks.

 

[Southern Elk]

Tom Petty - You don’t know how it feels.

Okay @kenton - Here's my sacrificial offering to the March Madness Gods... When I think of the best of days - the age of innocence, the song that brings back those days and the movie that pulls it all together. The Breakfast Club is the glue for those memories and while Simple Minds might not be my favorite band, this song instantly takes me back.

Following your rules: Simple Minds, Don't You Forget About Me.

And what beats the quote within:

 

[6mm Remington]

Triumph - Fight the Good Fight

 

[TwistedSage]

I'm going to try and help expand your musical horizons here. Give it a chance.


The lyrics are actually pretty enlightened but the music is so damn heavy. The musicians in this band are exceptional and there is nothing else like it.

Since you're a sports guy, I considered Gary Glitter's Rock-n-Roll part 2, but then I knew I'd have to self-disqualify. So I'll go with ......

While this is a cover song and not the original artist, I believe all will agree (or at least those with a musical ear) that this version is much better than the original. That said here is my entry.

Hurt
Johnny Cash

I don't like ... Metallica
