Round of 64: Divisions M and N Semi-Finals

Votes are due by Sunday, April 10th at 8 pm EST: We’ve reached Divisions M and N, which basically means you better be ready to rock your socks off. The line-up for Division M is absolutely breath-taking in my opinion, and I have a feeling the scoring is going to reflect that: Mercury, Bowie, Fleetwood, Buckingham, Nicks, McCartney, Preston, Harrison, Sir John. Whoa.

Division N is where Cobain and O’Riordan make a silent pact to leave it all on the stage, represent the 90s in all their glory, and see each other in the final. Not if the Stones and the Beatles have anything to say about it. Damn, this is going to rock.

Grooveshark link is here except for Let It Be and Golden Slumbers Medley– votes are due by Sunday April 10th at 8 pm. Vote by commenting on this post or by e-mailing LTDdotorg@gmail.com. Best of luck to all songs.

About g-mo

The day I was born, Michael Jackson's Thriller album was at the top of the Billboard 200. I've been trying my best to live up to that expectation ever since.

    Under Pressure is going to be in deep shit given its likely opponent…

    #2 Let It Be (The Beatles) 9
    #3 Tiny Dancer (Elton John) 7

    Didn’t expect to go this high on either song. The Beatles may have an inherent advantage for me as we go along – while they may not be songs that on any random listen I will love, over repeated listens they get better and better and just seem to be nearly immune to the fatigue other artists suffer from.

    #9 Paint It Black (Rolling Stones) 7.1
    #12 Zombie (The Cranberries) 7.8

    I don’t understand how Zombie does it, but it just will not lose. Paint it Black is really good, but probably isn’t worthy of the last 32. Too bad the better Stones songs are gone…

    #2 Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana) 8
    #6 Golden Slumbers Medley (The Beatles) 9.3

    Even better than Let It Be. God its weird to rank the Beatles so highly…

    Best bracket to date. They’re all winners in my book. But that won’t stop me from picking the ones that are more winners.

    Under Pressure (Queen & David Bowie) 8.5
    Go Your Own Way (Fleetwood Mac) 9.5
    As much as I hate my beloved Freddy (plus Bowie!) to lose to anyone, Go Your Own Way sounded just about perfect this morning.

    Let It Be (The Beatles) 7
    Tiny Dancer (Elton John) 8
    I feel like I should be more affected by Let It Be than I am. But I think I used up all my feelings about that song in high school. Now I find it pleasant, but not much more.

    Paint It Black (Rolling Stones) 8.5
    Zombie (The Cranberries) 7.5
    This morning I’m feeling drums like nobody’s business, but I will not be sad if Zombie makes it on. I am rather fascinated by its ascent.

    Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana) 7
    Golden Slumbers Medley (The Beatles) 8
    I think 90s songs suffer in the morning. Had I listened this evening this could easily have been reversed.
