I’m so glad you made it! Gimme Some Lovin’ (Spencer Davis Group) defeats the iconic Johnny B. Goode (Chuck Berry), 72-69.5.
Three Little Birds (Bob Marley) def. Touch of Grey (Grateful Dead), 68-58. The Dead’s only pop hit isn’t catchy enough.
Sweet Jane (Velvet Underground) def. The Rising (Bruce Springsteen), 73.5-53. All of us here at 14th street were having big problems with Sweet Jane’s bridge, which could be a problem against a stronger opponent.
Immigrant Song (Led Zeppelin) def. Rock ‘n Roll Radio (Ramones), 63.5-61.
All Apologies (Nirvana) def. I’ll Be There (Jackson 5), 63-59.
Mrs. Robinson (Simon and Garfunkel) def. Same Boy You’ve Always Known (White Stripes), 64.5-60.
For the five artists that when down today, all remain in the tournament through other songs, which you’re not going to see very often.
