It’s weird how all of our 90s and 00’s survivors ended up in the last 3 divisions, I’m pretty sure they were more spread out as an aggregate group in the 512…well, it is what it is. If you include the Division N match-ups, the last 6 of the 32 match-ups are straight-up “music produced after 1990” versus “music produced before 1980.” In a way, it’s a big moment for the music that we late twentysomethings and early thirtysomethings grew up with.
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.
Votes are due by Saturday, April 9th at 8 PM EST: Moving forward with our Division semi-final match-ups, we arrive at K and L. In Division K Ben E. King, the last tourney survivor not named Johnny Cash who can say “people paid money to see me perform before 1960,” lines up against the Prince of Pop. On the other side, Marconi tries to mambo his way past the Man In Black. I certainly didn’t see either of these songs getting this far, so we’ll see who keeps it up- Starship or Cash. 
Votes are due by Friday April 8th at 8 pm EST: Both Divisions I and J feature powerhouse folk rock narratives in top seed spots, and both are facing off against Beatles songs. This is going to really depend on people’s moods. The other major story here is the strange case of the left side of Division J, where we have a London Calling vs Combat Rock match-up of late 70’s Clash vs early 80’s Clash (I don’t know enough about Clash history to say whether this is significant or not, that’s a Janos question.) Anyways, that’s just the way the cookie crumbled- just like Johnny Cash in Division F, no matter what happens The Clash is guaranteed a Round of 32 appearance.
